Revisiting Thomson's model with multiply charged superfluid helium nanodroplets
Ernesto Garcia-Alfonso, Francesco Ancilotto, Manuel Barranco +3
We study superfluid helium droplets multiply charged with ions. When stable, the charges are found to reside in equilibrium close to the droplet surface, thus representing a physic…
Quantized vortex nucleation in collisions of superfluid nanoscopic helium droplets at zero temperature
Ernesto García-Alfonso, Francesco Ancilotto, Manuel Barranco +2
We address the collision of two superfluid 4 He droplets at non-zero initial relative velocities and impact parameters within the framework of liquid 4 He time-dependent density fu…
Breakup of quantum liquid filaments into droplets
Francesco Ancilotto, Manuel Barranco, Marti Pi
We have investigated how the Rayleigh-Plateau instability of a filament made of a 41K-87Rb self-bound mixture may lead to an array of identical quantum droplets, with typical break…
Self-sustained deformable rotating liquid He cylinders: The pure normal fluid He and superfluid He cases
Martí Pi, Francesco Ancilotto, Manuel Barranco +2
We have studied self-sustained, deformable, rotating liquid He cylinders of infinite length. In the normal fluid He case, we have employed a classical model where only surface…
Merging of superfluid Helium nanodroplets with vortices
J. M. Escartin, F. Ancilotto, M. Barranco +1
Within Density Functional Theory, we have investigated the coalescence dynamics of two superfluid helium nanodroplets hosting vortex lines in different relative orientations, which…
Dynamics of photo-excited Cs atoms attached to helium nanodroplets
Nicolas Rendler, Audrey Scognamiglio, Katrin Dulitz +4
We present an experimental study of the dynamics following the photo-excitation and subsequent photo-ionization of single Cs atoms on the surface of helium nanodroplets. The dynami…
