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…
Mg impurity in helium droplets
J. Navarro, D. Mateo, M. Barranco +1
Within the diffusion Monte Carlo approach, we have determined the structure of isotopically pure and mixed helium droplets doped with one magnesium atom. For pure 4He clusters, our…
Excited electron-bubble states in superfluid helium-4: a time-dependent density functional approach
David Mateo, Dafei Jin, Manuel Barranco +1
We present a systematic study on the excited electron-bubble states in superfluid helium-4 using a time-dependent density functional approach. For the evolution of the 1P bubble st…
Evolution of the excited electron bubble in liquid 4He and the appearance of fission-like processes
David Mateo, Martí Pi, Manuel Barranco
We have studied the evolution of an excited electron bubble in superfluid 4He for several tens of picoseconds combining the dynamics of the liquid with an adiabatic evolution for t…
Magnesium doped helium nanodroplets
Alberto Hernando, Manuel Barranco, Ricardo Mayol +2
We have studied the structure of He droplets doped with magnesium atoms using density functional theory. We have found that the solvation properties of this system strongly dep…
Bose-Fermi Mixtures in Optical Lattices
M. Centelles, M. Guilleumas, M. Barranco +2
Using mean field theory, we have studied Bose-Fermi mixtures in a one-dimensional optical lattice in the case of an attractive boson-fermion interaction. We consider that the fermi…
Critical frequency for vortex nucleation in Bose-Fermi mixtures in optical lattices
M. Guilleumas, M. Centelles, M. Barranco +2
We investigate within mean-field theory the influence of a one-dimensional optical lattice and of trapped degenerate fermions on the critical rotational frequency for vortex line c…
Cavitation of Electrons Bubbles in Liquid Helium Below saturation Pressure
M. Pi, M. Barranco, R. Mayol +1
We have used a Hartree-type electron-helium potential together with a density functional description of liquid He and He to study the explosion of electron bubbles submitte…
Surface location of sodium atoms attached to He nanodroplets
F. Stienkemeier, O. Bünermann, R. Mayol +3
We have experimentally studied the electronic excitation of Na atoms attached to He droplets by means of laser-induced fluorescence as well as beam depletion…
