We studied by means of computer simulations the low temperature properties of two-dimensional parahydrogen clusters comprising between 7 and 30 molecules. Computed energetics is in quantitative agreement with that reported in the only…
We study by Quantum Monte Carlo simulations the local superfluid response of small (up to 27 molecules) parahydrogen clusters, down to temperatures as low as 0.05 K. We show that at low temperature superfluidity is not confined at the…
Confinement has generally the effect of suppressing order in condensed matter. Indeed, phase transitions such as freezing, or the superfluid transition in liquid helium, occur at lower temperatures in confinement than they do in the bulk.…
First principle computer simulations yield evidence of a finite superfluid response at low temperature of a parahydrogen cluster of 15 molecules in bulk superfluid He-4. The superfluid fraction is worth ~44% at T=0.25 K, growing to about…
Structural and superfluid properties of para-Hydrogen clusters of size up to N=40 molecules, are studied at low temperature (0.5 K < T < 4 K) by Path Integral Monte Carlo simulations. The superfluid fraction displays an interesting,…
We present results of a theoretical study of structural and superfluid properties of parahydrogen clusters comprising 25, 26 and 27 molecules at low temperature. The microscopic model utilized here is based on the Silvera-Goldman pair…
Structure and superfluid response of nanoscale size helium-four clusters enclosed in spherical cavities are studied by computer simulations. The curved surface causes the formation of well-defined concentric shells, thus imparting to the…
We present results of computer simulations of a parahydrogen cluster of a thousand molecules, corresponding to approximately 4 nm in diameter, at temperatures between 1 K and 10 K. Examination of structural properties suggests that the…
We present results of a theoretical study of para-hydrogen and ortho-deuterium clusters at low temperature (0.5 K < T < 3.5 K), based on Path Integral Monte Carlo simulations. Clusters of size up to N=21 para-hydrogen molecules are nearly…
The low temperature physics of parahydrogen (ph2) confined in cylindrical channels of diameter of the order of 1 nm is studied theoretically by Quantum Monte Carlo simulations. On varying the attractive strength of the wall of the…
A novel supersolid phase is predicted for an ensemble of Rydberg atoms in the dipole-blockade regime, interacting via a repulsive dipolar potential "softened" at short distances. Using exact numerical techniques, we study the low…
The superfluid response of nanoscale size quasi-2D He-4 droplets adsorbed on a graphite substrate is investigated by computer simulations. It is found that clusters comprising as few as 7 atoms are stable at temperatures lower than < 0.15…
Clusters of para-hydrogen (pH2) have been predicted to exhibit superfluid behavior, but direct observation of this phenomenon has been elusive. Combining experiments and theoretical simulations, we have determined the size evolution of the…
Computer simulations yield evidence of superfluid behavior of nanoscale size clusters of parahydrogen adsorbed on a graphite substrate at low temperature ($T\lesssim 0.25 \text{ K}$). Clusters with a number of molecules between 7 and 12…
We investigate the finite-temperature phase diagram of polar molecules confined in a quasi-two-dimensional geometry by a harmonic potential along the polarization axis. We employ Quantum Monte Carlo simulations to explore the strongly…
The possible superfluid transition of supercooled liquid parahydrogen is investigated by quantum Monte Carlo simulations. The cooling protocol adopted here allows for the investigation of a fluid phase down to a temperature T=0.25 K. No…
Confinement can have a considerable effect on the behavior of particle systems, and is therefore an effective way to discover new phenomena. A notable example is a system of identical bosons at low temperature under an external field…
The interplay between magic number stabilities and superfluidity of small para-hydrogen clusters with sizes $N = 5$ to 40 and temperatures $0.5 K \leq T \leq 4.5 $K is explored with classical and quantum Path Integral Monte Carlo…
A muonium hydride molecule is a bound state of muonium and hydrogen atoms. It has half the mass of a parahydrogen molecule and very similar electronic properties in its ground state. The phase diagram of an assembly of such particles is…
The ground state of a two-dimensional, harmonically confined mesoscopic assembly of up to thirty polar molecules is studied by computer simulations. As the strength of the confining trap is increased, clusters evolve from superfluid, to…
