Localization versus inhomogeneous superfluidity: Submonolayer He-4 on fluorographene, hexagonal boron nitride, and graphene
Saverio Moroni, Francesco Ancilotto, Pier Luigi Silvestrelli +1
We study a sub monolayer He-4 adsorbed on fluorographene (GF) and on hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) at low coverage. The adsorption potentials have been computed ab-initio with a su…
Rotating He-3 droplets
Marti Pi, Francesco Ancilotto, Manuel Barranco
Motivated by recent experiments, we study normal-phase rotating He-3 droplets within Density Functional Theory in a semi-classical approach. The sequence of rotating droplet shapes…
Angular momentum in rotating superfluid droplets
Sean M. O. OConnell, Rico Mayro P. Tanyag, Deepak Verma +14
The angular momentum of rotating superfluid droplets originates from quantized vortices and capillary waves, the interplay between which remains to be uncovered. Here, the rotation…
First observation of bright solitons in bulk superfluid He-4
Francesco Ancilotto, David Levy, Jessica Pimentel +1
The existence of bright solitons in bulk superfluid He-4 is demonstrated by time-resolved shadowgraph i maging experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The ini…
Superfluid behavior of quasi-1D p-H inside carbon nanotube
Maurizio Rossi, Francesco Ancilotto
We perform ab-initio Quantum Monte Carlo simulations of para-hydrogen (pH) at K confined in carbon nanotubes (CNT) of different radii. The radial density profiles show a…
DC and AC Josephson effects with superfluid Fermi atoms across a Feshbach resonance
L. Salasnich, F. Ancilotto, N. Manini +1
We show that both DC and AC Josephson effects with superfluid Fermi atoms in the BCS-BEC crossover can be described at zero temperature by a nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE).…
