Density of states of helium droplets

چکیده
Accurate analytical expressions for the state densities of liquid 4He droplets are derived, incorporating the ripplon and phonon degrees of freedom. The microcanonical temperature and the ripplon angular momentum level density are also evaluated. The approach is based on inversions and systematic expansions of canonical thermodynamic properties.

Size and isotope effects of helium clusters and droplets: identification of surface and bulk-volume excitations.
We report a comprehensive investigation of the electronically excited states of helium clusters and droplets of sizes ranging from a few to several 10(7) atoms using time-resolved fluorescence excitation spectroscopy and quantum chemical ab initio calculations. We employ various approaches for our analysis considering the lifetime-dependence of the fluorescence intensity, spectral shifts, inten...

A novel density functional, which accounts correctly for the equation of state, the static response function and the phonon-roton dispersion in bulk liquid helium, is used to predict static and dynamic properties of helium droplets. The static density profile is found to exhibit significant oscillations, which are accompanied by deviations of the evaporation energy from a liquid drop behaviour ...
متن کاملDensity of Superfluid Helium Droplets
The classical integral cross sections of large superfluid 4He N droplets and the number of atoms in the droplets (N = 103 − 104) have been measured in molecular beam scattering experiments. These measurements are found to be in good agreement with the cross sections predicted from density functional calculations of the radial density distributions with a 10–90% surface thickness of 5.7Å. By usi...
متن کاملSolvation and Spectral Line Shifts of Chromium Atoms in Helium Droplets Based on a Density Functional Theory Approach
The interaction of an electronically excited, single chromium (Cr) atom with superfluid helium nanodroplets of various size (10 to 2000 helium (He) atoms) is studied with helium density functional theory. Solvation energies and pseudo-diatomic potential energy surfaces are determined for Cr in its ground state as well as in the y(7)P, a(5)S, and y(5)P excited states. The necessary Cr-He pair po...
متن کاملLine broadening of excimers bound to the surface of 4 He clusters investigated by comparison with corona discharge excitation spectra
A new method for assessing the site-specific emission from electronically excited helium droplets is presented. The fluorescence features of helium droplets show sharp rotationally resolved lines indicating desorption of excimers and emission far outside the droplets as well as blue-shifted and strongly broadened features due to emission of excimers confined in cavities within the droplets. A t...
