The helium trimer has no bound rotational excited states
We have searched for bound states of helium trimers with nonzero angular momenta. Including only pair interactions between helium atoms, we solved the Schrödinger equation in hyperspherical coordinates in the adiabatic approximation. From the resulting potential curves—which are mostly repulsive for nonzero angular momenta—we conclude that there are no bound rotational excited states in any of ...
متن کاملLiquid-liquid phase transitions for soft-core attractive potentials.
Using event-driven molecular dynamics simulations, we study a three-dimensional one-component system of spherical particles interacting via a discontinuous potential combining a repulsive square soft core and an attractive square well. In the case of a narrow attractive well, it has been shown that this potential has two metastable gas-liquid critical points. Here we systematically investigate ...
متن کاملIntegral relations and the adiabatic expansion method for 1 + 2 reactions above the breakup threshold : Helium trimers with soft - core potentials
The integral relations formalism introduced in [P. Barletta et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 090402 (2009); C. Romero-Redondo et al., Phys. Rev. A 83, 022705 (2011)] and designed to describe 1 +N reactions is extended here to collision energies above the threshold for the target breakup. These two relations are completely general, and in this work they are used together with the adiabatic expansio...
متن کاملWhat is the shape of the helium trimer? A comparison with the neon and argon trimers.
Despite its apparent simplicity and extensive theoretical investigations, the issue of what is the shape of the helium trimer is still debated in the literature. After reviewing previous conflicting interpretations of computational studies, we introduce the angle-angle distribution function as a tool to discuss in a simple way the shape of any trimer. We compute this function along with many di...
متن کاملComparison of Hard-Core and Soft-Core Potentials for Modelling Flocking in Free Space
An investigation into the properties of a two dimensional (2D+1) system of self propelled particles (known as boids) in free space is conducted using a Lagrangian Individual-Based Model. A potential, associated with each boid is specified and a Lagrangian is subsequently derived in order to obtain the equations of motion for each particle in the flock. The Morse potential and the Lennard-Jones ...
