4He adsorbed outside a single carbon nanotube
(2012-10-08)
Article
Open AccessThe phase diagrams of 4He adsorbed on the external surfaces of single armchair carbon nanotubes with radii in the range 3.42–10.85 Å are calculated using the diffusion Monte Carlo method. For nanotubes narrower than a ... -
Atomic monolayer deposition on the surface of nanotube mechanical resonators
(2014-05-14)
Article
Open AccessWe study monolayers of noble gas atoms (Xe, Kr, Ar, and Ne) deposited on individual ultraclean suspended nanotubes. For this, we record the resonance frequency of the mechanical motion of the nanotube, since it provides a ... -
Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition in two-dimensional dipolar stripes
(American Physical Society (APS), 2019-12-05)
Article
Open AccessA two-dimensional quantum system of dipoles, with a polarization angle not perpendicular to the plane, shows a transition from a gas to a stripe phase. We have studied the thermal properties of these two phases using the ... -
Composite boson description of a low-density gas of excitons
(2017-10-13)
Article
Open AccessGround-state properties of a fermionic Coulomb gas are calculated using the fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo method. The validity of the composite boson description is tested for different densities. We extract the ... -

Diffusion Monte Carlo methods for spin-orbit-coupled ultracold Bose gases
(American Physical Society (APS), 2018-11-27)
Article
Open AccessWe present two diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) algorithms for systems of ultracold quantum gases featuring synthetic spin-orbit interactions. The first one is a spin-integrated DMC method which provides fixed-phase energy ... -
Dilute dipolar quantum droplets beyond the extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation
(American Physical Society, 2019-11-08)
Article
Open AccessDipolar quantum droplets are exotic quantum objects that are self-bound due to the subtle balance of attraction, repulsion, and quantum correlations. Here we present a systematic study of the critical atom number of these ... -
Dilute quantum liquid in a K-Rb Bose mixture
(American Physical Society (APS), 2021-09-24)
Article
Open AccessA quantum liquid in a heterogeneous mixture of 41K and 87Rb atoms is studied using the diffusion Monte Carlo method and density-functional theory. The perturbative Lee-Huang-Yang term for a heterogeneous mixture is verified ... -
Dipolar Bose Supersolid Stripes
(2017-12-20)
Article
Open AccessWe study the superfluid properties of a system of fully polarized dipolar bosons moving in the XY plane. We focus on the general case where the polarization field forms an arbitrary angle a with respect to the Z axis, ... -
Dislocation structure and mobility in hcp rare-gas solids: quantum versus classical
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2018-02-01)
Article
Open AccessWe study the structural and mobility properties of edge dislocations in rare-gas crystals with the hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure by using classical simulation techniques. Our results are discussed in the light of ... -
Distinguishability, degeneracy, and correlations in three harmonically trapped bosons in one dimension

Article
Open AccessWe study a system of two bosons of one species and a third atom of a second species in a one-dimensional parabolic trap at zero temperature. We assume contact repulsive inter- and intraspecies interactions. By means of an ... -

Article
Open AccessStrongly interacting systems of dipolar bosons in three dimensions confined by harmonic traps are analyzed using the exact path integral ground-state Monte Carlo method. By adding a repulsive two-body potential, we find a ... -

Article
Open AccessWe present a theoretical study of the dynamic structure function of a resonantly interacting two-component Fermi gas at zero temperature. Our approach is based on dynamic many-body theory able to describe excitations in ... -
Elastic constants of incommensurate solid 4He from diffusion Monte Carlo simulations
(2013-06-28)
Article
Open AccessWe study the elastic properties of incommensurate solid 4He in the limit of zero temperature. Specifically, we calculate the pressure dependence of the five elastic constants (C11, C12, C13, C33, and C44), longitudinal and ... -
Elusive structure of helium trimers
(2016-08-23)
Article
Open AccessOver the years many He–He interaction potentials have been developed, some very sophisticated, including various corrections beyond the Born–Oppenheimer approximation. Most of them were used to predict properties of helium ... -
Estimation of the condensate fraction from the static structure factor
(American Physical Society (APS), 2021-03-16)
Article
Open AccessWe present an analytical method to estimate the condensate fraction n0/n in strongly correlated systems for which the zero-temperature static structure factor S(p) is known. The advantage of the proposed method is that it ... -
