Atomic and molecular impurities in4He clusters

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik D Atoms, Molecules and Clusters

Abstract

A density functional theory is used to predict the binding energy of atomic and molecular impurities (Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and SF6) in the center of4He clusters, in the limit of zero temperature and for zero angular momentum states. The size dependence of the binding energy, from small clusters to the bulk liquid limit, is investigated. The behaviour of the4He density near the impurity is also studied.
