We systematically investigate the formation and stability of snowballs formed by femtosecond photo-ionization of small alkali clusters bound to helium nanodroplets. For all studied alkali species Ak=(Na, K, Rb, Cs) we observe the formation…
Ab initio computed interaction forces are employed in order to describe the microsolvation of the A$_2^+(^2\Sigma)$ (A=Li,Na,K) molecular ion in $^4$He clusters of small variable size. The minimum energy structures are obtained by…
We thoroughly investigate vibrational quantum dynamics of dimers attached to He droplets motivated by recent measurements with K-2 [1]. For those femtosecond pump-probe experiments, crucial observed features are not reproduced by gas phase…
The reaction of alkali (Na, Cs) clusters with water clusters embedded in helium nanodroplets is studied using femtosecond photo-ionization as well as electron impact ionization. Unlike Na clusters, Cs clusters are found to completely react…
We present a comparative study of the rotational characteristics of various molecule-doped 4He clusters using quantum Monte Carlo techniques. The theoretical conclusions obtained from both zero and finite temperature Monte Carlo studies…
We present a quantum Monte Carlo study of the solvation and spectroscopic properties of the Mg doped helium clusters MgHe$_n$ with $n=2-50$. Three high level (MP4, CCSD(T) and CCSDT) MgHe interaction potentials have been used to study the…
The density of states and other thermodynamic functions of helium nanodroplets are calculated for a microcanonical ensemble with both energy and total angular momentum treated as conserved quantum numbers. These functions allow angular…
Recently, it was shown how the primary steps of solvation of a single Na$^+$ ion, instantly created at the surface of a nanometer-sized droplet of liquid helium, can be followed at the atomic level [Albrectsen et al. Nature $\textbf{623}$,…
A structural study of the smaller Li$^+$He$_n$ clusters with $n\le30$ has been carried out using different theoretical methods. The structures and the energetics of the clusters have been obtained using both classical energy minimization…
$^4$He nanodroplets doped with an alkali ion feature a snowball of crystallized layers surrounded by superfluid helium. For large droplets, we predict that a transitional supersolid layer can form, bridging between the solid core and the…
We study superfluid helium droplets multiply charged with ions. When stable, the charges are found to reside in equilibrium close to the droplet surface, thus representing a physical realization of Thomson's model. We find the minimum…
The electric dipole moments of $(H_{2}O)_{n}DCl$ ($n=3-9$) clusters have been measured by the beam deflection method. Reflecting the (dynamical) charge distribution within the system, the dipole moment contributes information about the…
To describe long-range behaviour of one particle removed from a few- or a many-body system, a hyperspherical cluster model has been developed. It has been applied to the ground and first excited states of helium drops with five, six, eight…
Using a density functional method, we investigate the properties of liquid 4He droplets doped with atoms (Ne and Xe) and molecules (SF_6 and HCN). We consider the case of droplets having a quantized vortex pinned to the dopant. A liquid…
The stability of two-component clusters consisting of light (Na or K) and heavy (Rb or Cs) alkali atoms formed on helium nanodroplets is studied by femtosecond laser ionization in combination with mass spectrometry. Characteristic stability…
Three-dimensional (3D) excitonic complexes influence the optoelectronic properties of bulk semiconductors. More generally, correlated few-particle molecules and ions, held together by pairwise Coulomb potentials, play a fundamental role in…
The structural and dynamical properties of OCS molecules solvated in Helium clusters are studied using reptation quantum Monte Carlo, for cluster sizes n=3-20 He atoms. Computer simulations allow us to establish a relation between the…
In quantum simulation, many-body phenomena are probed in controllable quantum systems. Recently, simulation of Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonians using cold atoms revealed previously hidden local correlations. However, fermionic many-body Hubbard…
Helium (He) nanodroplets irradiated by intense near-infrared laser pulses form a nanoplasma by avalanche-like electron impact ionizations even at lower laser intensities where He is not directly field ionized, provided that the droplets…
Recent pump-probe experiments [Albrechtsen {\em et al.}, Nature {\bf 623}, 319 (2023)] have explored the gradual solvation of sodium cations in contact with helium nanodroplets, using a fully solvated xenon atom as a probe exerting a…
