A density functional theory is used to predict the binding energy of atomic and molecular impurities (Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and SF$_6$) in the center of $^4$He clusters, in the limit of zero temperature and for zero angular…
Below $\sim 630$~mK, the \4he atom mass flux, $F$, that passes through a cell filled with solid hcp \4he in the pressure range 25.6 - 26.4~bar, rises with falling temperature and at a temperature $T_d$ the flux drops sharply. The flux above…

A free surface of a dilute $^3$He-$^4$He liquid mixture is a unique system where two Fermi liquids with distinct dimensions coexist: a three-dimensional (3D) $^3$He Fermi liquid in bulk and a two-dimensional (2D) $^3$He Fermi liquid at the…
We show that, at high densities, fully variational solutions of solid-like type can be obtained from a density functional formalism originally designed for liquid 4He. Motivated by this finding, we propose an extension of the method that…

The $^3$He(n,p) process is excellent for neutron detection between thermal and $\sim$4\,MeV because of the high cross section and near-complete energy transfer from the neutron to the proton. This process is typically used in gaseous forms…
