This paper presents an analysis of a model problem, consisting of two interacting rigid rings, for the rotation of molecules in liquid $^4$He. Due to Bose symmetry, the excitation of the rotor corresponding to a ring of N helium atoms is…
Mixed $^3$He-$^4$He droplets created by hydrodynamic instability of a cryogenic fluid-jet may acquire angular momentum during their passage through the nozzle of the experimental apparatus. These free-standing droplets cool down to very low…
Previous single-pulse extreme ultraviolet and X-ray coherent diffraction studies revealed that superfluid 4He droplets obtained in free jet expansion acquire sizable angular momentum, resulting in significant centrifugal distortion. Similar…
High resolution spectroscopy of doped molecules in 4He nano-droplets and clusters gives a signature of superfluidity in microscopic system, termed as microscopic superfluidity. Ro-vibrational spectrum of 4HeN-M clusters is studied with the…
We use molecular dynamics simulations to probe the rotational dynamics of the SPC/E model of water for a range of temperatures down to 200 K, 13 K above to the mode coupling temperature. We find that rotational dynamics is spatially…
The fact, that $^4$He atoms on different concentric circular paths around the axis of a quantum vortex move with identically equal angular momentum, which represents an important aspect of superfluidity of He-II, has been used to discover a…
We present a superfluid hydrodynamic model for the increase in moment of inertia, $\Delta I$, of molecules rotating in liquid $^4$He. The static inhomogeneous He density around each molecule (calculated using the Orsay-Paris liquid $^4$He…
We have investigated how helium atoms are distributed within a mixed $^3$He$_{N_3}$-$^4$He$_{N_4}$ large drop with $N_3 \gg N_4$. For drops doped with a SF$_6$ molecule or a Xe atom, we have found that the number of $^3$He atoms within the…
We present a simple quantum mechanical model describing excited rotational states of molecules in superfluid helium nanodroplets, as recently studied in non-adiabatic molecular alignment experiments [Cherepanov et al., Phys. Rev. A 104,…
Understanding the hydration and diffusion of ions in water at the molecular level is a topic of widespread importance. The ammonium ion (NH$_4^+$) is an exemplar system that has received attention for decades because of its complex…
The dynamic structure factor and the eigenmodes of density fluctuations in the uniform liquid $^3$He are studied using a novel non-perturbative approach. This new version of the self-consistent method of moments invokes up to nine sum rules…
The rotational property of a quantum liquid at the vicinity of the lambda point is examined. In a liquid helium 4 just above the lambda point, under the strong influence of Bose statistics, the coherent many-body wave function grows to an…
The vibrational frequency of hydrogen molecules has been observed to increase strongly with He concentration in helium hydrogen fluid mixtures. This has been associated with He-H interactions, either directly through chemical bonding, or…
We present a systematic understanding of the rotational structure of a long-range (vibrationally highly-excited) diatomic molecule. For example, we show that depending on a quantum defect, the least-bound vibrational state of a diatomic…
We design models for helium in matrices like aerogel, Vycor or Geltech from a manifestly microscopic point of view. For that purpose, we calculate the dynamic structure function of 4He on Si substrates and between two Si walls as a function…
Molecules immersed in liquid helium are excellent probes of superfluidity. Their electronic, vibrational and rotational dynamics provide valuable clues about the superfluid at the nanoscale. Here we report on the experimental study of the…
We give a detailed microscopic analysis of why holes are different from electrons in condensed matter. Starting from a single atom with zero, one and two electrons, we show that the spectral functions for electrons and for holes are…
Purely rotational transitions of a molecule, such as HCCCN, embedded in large $^4$He clusters have been detected for the first time. The saturation behavior shows that, in contrast to previous expectations, the microwave line profiles are…
We examine the energetics of bulk and layer-roton excitations of 4He in various porous medial such as aerogel, Geltech, or Vycor, in order to find out what conclusions can be drawn from experiments on the energetics about the physisorption…
The ro--vibrational spectra of molecules dissolved in liquid $^4$He nanodroplets display rotational structure. Where resolved, this structure has been used to determine a temperature that has been assumed to equal that of the intrinsic…
