Buoyancy corrections for the potential of an impurity in a 4 He nanodroplet
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents correction terms for the e ective potential for the translation and rotation of an impurity atom or molecule solvated in a helium nanodroplet that were previously published (LEHMANN,K.K.,1999, Molec. Phys., 97, 645) . The correction arises from changes in the total He± He potential energy of the displaced liquid as a function of the solute position within the droplet. For the alkali atoms, this buoyancy type correction removes the large barrier to ejection of the atom from the droplets, which is predicted if this term is neglected.

Quantum dynamics of the pick up process of atoms by superfluid helium nanodroplets: the Ne + ((4)He)1000 system.
The capture dynamics of a Ne atom by a superfluid helium nanodroplet (((4)He)N=1000; T = 0.37 K), Ne + ((4)He)N→ Ne@((4)He)N', was investigated using a quantum approach (TDDFT (helium) + quantum wave packet (Ne)) at zero angular momentum and a rather wide range of Ne atom initial mean velocities (〈v0〉: 90-1300 m s(-1)). This is probably the first quantum dynamics study focusing on the pick up p...
متن کاملThe Effect of Cu Impurity on the CO-dissociation Mechanism on the Fe (100) Surface: A Full Potential DFT Study
In this study, the theoretical calculations of CO dissociation were carried out on Cu-Fe alloy surface by a full-potential method, which made more accurate results especially on the prediction of adsorption energies. This process may be governed by either a direct route or a H-assisted via HCO and COH intermediates pathways. In comparison to the pure surface Fe (100), the presence of Cu atom en...

Single and double equilibrium bond lengths of the fcc-C60 crystal were calculated in the absence and presence of the endohedral C atom as an impurity doped into each C60 cluster, i.e., fcc-C@C60, by means of fully-relaxed self-consistent calculations within the density functtional theory (DFT) employing the full potential-augmented plane waves plus local orbital (FP-APW+lo) method. The result s...

In this paper, the electronic eigenstates and energy spectra of single and two-interacting electrons confined in a concentric double quantum rings with a perpendicular magnetic field in the presence of on-center donor and acceptor impurities are calculated using the exact diagonalization method. For a single electron case, the binding energy of on-center donor and acceptor impurities ar...
متن کاملSimulation of nanodroplet impact on a solid surface
A novel computational fluid dynamics and molecular kinetic theory (CFD-MK) method was developed to simulate the impingement of a nanodroplet onto a solid surface. A numerical solution of the Navier–Stokes equation using a volume-of-fluid (VOF) technique was used to model nanodroplet deformation. Dynamic contact angle during droplet impact was obtained by molecular kinetic theory. This dynamic c...
