The structure of mixed 3He-4He droplets doped with OCS: a density functional approach

J Chem Phys. 2013 Nov 7;139(17):174308. doi: 10.1063/1.4827499.

Abstract

We have investigated the structure and energetics of mixed (3)He-(4)He droplets doped with a carbonyl sulfide molecule within a density functional approach considering a small but finite temperature of 0.1 K. The molecule is treated as an external field to which the helium droplet is attached. The energetics and appearance of these droplets are discussed for selected numbers of helium atoms, identifying the first magic numbers of the fermionic component.
