We revisited the phase diagram of the second layer of 4He on top of graphite using quantum Monte Carlo methods. Our aim was to explore the existence of the novel phases suggested recently in experimental works, and determine their…
A quantum Monte Carlo approach, considering all the corrugation effects, was used to calculate the complete phase diagram of the second $^3$He layer adsorbed on graphite. We found that a first-layer triangular solid was in equilibrium with…
Using realistic helium-helium and helium-graphite interactions and the path integral Monte Carlo method, we are able to identify the gas, superfluid liquid, commensurate-solid, and incommensurate-solid phases, and the coexistence regions…
Using quantum Monte Carlo we have studied the superfluid density of the first layer of $^4$He and H$_2$ adsorbed on graphene and graphite. Our main focus has been on the equilibrium ground state of the system, which corresponds to a…
The phase diagram of a para-H2 monolayer absorbed on a experimentally syntetized amorphous carbon sheet was calculated using a diffusion Monte Carlo technique. We found that the ground state of that system changed drastically from a…
We report diffusion Monte Carlo calculations on the phase diagrams of para-H2 and ortho-D2 adsorbed on top of a first layer of the same substances on graphene. We found that the ground state of the second layer is a triangular…
Using a diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) technique, we calculated the phase diagrams of $^4$He and H$_2$ adsorbed on a single (5,5) carbon nanotube, one of the narrowest that can be obtained experimentally. For a single monolayer, when the…
Evidence for a new type of superfluid phase in second-layer $^4$He on graphite has been obtained from simultaneous measurements of torsional-oscillator response and heat-capacity on exactly the same sample down to 30 mK, which resolve…
The low-temperature properties of one and two layers of parahydrogen adsorbed on graphite are investigated theoretically through Quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We adopt a microscopic model that explicitly includes the corrugation of the…
The second layer of He-4 adsorbed on a graphite substrate is studied by Quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We make use of a microscopic model of the substrate fully accounting for its corrugation, and compare the results to those obtained…
We study the low temperature properties of a single layer of parahydrogen adsorbed on graphene, by means of Quantum Monte Carlo simulations. The computed phase diagram is very similar to that of helium on the same substrate, featuring…
Using a diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) technique, we calculated the phase diagram of 3He adsorbed on a first solid layer of a molecular hydrogen isotope (H2,HD and D2) on top of graphite. The results are qualitatively similar in all cases: a…
The phase diagram at zero temperature of $^4$He adsorbed on an helium incommensurate triangular solid on top of a single graphene sheet has been obtained using the diffusion Monte Carlo method. We have found that, in accordance with…
Adsorption of para-Hydrogen on the surface of graphite pre-plated with a single layer of atomic krypton is studied thoretically by means of Path Integral Ground State Monte Carlo simulations. We compute energetics and density profiles of…
We theoretically investigate the ground-state properties of a molecular para-hydrogen (p-H2) film in which crystallization is energetically frustrated by embedding sodium (Na) atoms periodically distributed in a triangular lattice. In order…
The phase diagram of the first layer of H$_2$ adsorbed on top of a single graphene sheet has been calculated by means of a series of diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) simulations. We have found that, as in the case of $^4$He, the ground state of…
Recent heat-capacity experiments show quite unambiguously the existence of a liquid $^3$He phase adsorbed on graphite. This liquid is stable at an extremely low density, possibly one of the lowest found in Nature. Previous theoretical…
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…
Using a path-integral Monte Carlo method for simulating superfluid quantum films, we investigate helium layers adsorbed on a substrate consisting of graphite plus two solid helium layers. Our results for the promotion densities and the…
We present results of a theoretical study of 4He films adsorbed on graphite, based on the continuous space worm algorithm. In the first layer, we find a domain-wall phase and a (7/16) registered structure between the commensurate (1/3) and…
