We have studied the solubility of molecular hydrogen in bulk liquid $^4$He at zero temperature using the diffusion Monte Carlo method and realistic interatomic potentials between the different species of the mixture. Around the $^4$He…
We report results of diffusion Monte Carlo calculations for both $^4$He absorbed in a narrow single walled carbon nanotube (R = 3.42 \AA) and strictly one dimensional $^4$He. Inside the tube, the binding energy of liquid $^4$He is…
The behavior of quantum fluids (4He and H2) within nanopores is explored in various regimes, using several different methods. A focus is the evolution of each fluid's behavior as pore radius R is increased. Results are derived with the path…
We review quantum Monte Carlo results on energetic and structure properties of quantum fluids adsorbed in a bundle of carbon nanotubes. Using realistic interatomic interactions the different adsorption sites that a bundle offer are…
The ground-state properties of two-dimensional liquid $^4$He at zero temperature are studied by means of a quadratic diffusion Monte Carlo method. As interatomic potential we use a revised version of the HFDHE2 Aziz potential which is…
We present diffusion Monte Carlo calculations of D$_2$ adsorbed inside a narrow carbon nanotube. The 1D D$_2$ equation of state is reported, and the one-dimensional character of the adsorbed D$_2$ is analyzed. The isotopic dependence of the…
In a recent study we have reported a new type of trial wave function symmetric under the exchange of particles and which is able to describe a supersolid phase. In this work, we use the diffusion Monte Carlo method and this model wave…
Diffusion Monte Carlo calculations on the adsorption of $^4$He in open-ended single walled (10,10) nanotubes are presented. We have found a first order phase transition separating a low density liquid phase in which all $^4$He atoms are…
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…
The equation of state of H2 adsorbed in the interstitial channels of a carbon nanotube bundle has been calculated using the diffusion Monte Carlo method. The possibility of a lattice dilation, induced by H2 adsorption, has been analyzed by…
The lattice dynamics of hcp crystalline 4He is studied at zero temperature and for two different densities (near and far from melting), using a ground-state path-integral quantum Monte Carlo technique. The complete phonon dispersion is…
We study molecular para-hydrogen (p-${\rm H_{2}}$) and ortho-deuterium (o-${\rm D_{2}}$) in two dimensions and in the limit of zero temperature by means of the diffusion Monte Carlo method. We report energetic and structural properties of…
By means of Diffusion Monte Carlo calculations, we obtained the complete phase diagrams of H$_2$ adsorbed on the outer surface of isolated armchair carbon nanotubes of radii ranging from 3.42 to 10.85 \AA. We only considered density ranges…
We have studied the ground-state properties of para-hydrogen in one dimension and in quasi-one-dimensional configurations using the path integral ground state Monte Carlo method. This method produces zero-temperature exact results for a…
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…
In this thesis we have used Quantum Monte Carlo techniques to study two systems that can be regarded as the archetype for neutral strongly interacting systems: 4He, and its fermionic counterpart 3He.More specifically, we have used the Path…
The equation of state of two-dimensional $^3$He at zero temperature has been calculated using the diffusion Monte Carlo method. By means of a combination of the fixed-node and released-node techniques it is shown that backflow correlations…
We present a zero-temperature quantum Monte Carlo calculation of liquid $^4$He immersed in an array of confining potentials. These external potentials are centered in the lattice sites of a fcc solid geometry and, by modifying their well…
The phase diagrams of $^4$He adsorbed on the external surfaces of single armchair carbon nanotubes with radii in the range 3.42 -- 10.85 \AA \ are calculated using the diffusion Monte Carlo method. For nanotubes narrower than a (10,10) one,…
We present a diffusion Monte Carlo study of a single vortex in two-dimensional superfluid liquid $^4$He within the fixed node approximation. We use both the Feynman phase and an improved phase which includes backflow correlations to model…
