Phase Diagrams of 4He on Flat and Curved Environments
By means of diffusion Monte Carlo calculations, we obtained the phase diagrams of a first and second layer of 4He on graphene and on the outside of different isolated armchair carbon nanotubes with radii in the range 3.42 to 10.85 Å. That corresponds to tubes between the (5, 5) and (16, 16) in standard nomenclature. In both cases, the ground state is either a liquid (second layer on graphene an...
متن کاملFirst-principles modeling of quantum nuclear effects and atomic interactions in solid 4He at high pressure
We present a first-principles computational study of solid 4He at T = 0 K and pressures up to ∼160 GPa. Our computational strategy consists in using van der Waals density functional theory (DFT-vdW) to describe the electronic degrees of freedom in this material, and the diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method to solve the Schrödinger equation describing the behavior of the quantum nuclei. For this, ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo determination of the elastic constants of the hard-sphere solid.
Monte Carlo simulation is used to study the elastic properties of the classical hard sphere solid. The elastic constants C 11 ,C 12 , and C 44 are computed for the fcc lattice structure at the melting density. Poisson's ratio is computed and is shown to be positive. Thesèexact' results are compared with those of simple models of the hard sphere solid.
متن کاملRenormalization of the rotational constants of an ammonia molecule seeded into a 4He droplet
The solvation dynamics of an ammonia molecule seeded into a droplet of He containing N 1⁄4 1—25 He atoms are studied using the diffusion Monte Carlo method. Excited states are computed using the fixednode procedure. The reduction of 3–5% in the rotational constants of the molecule is in quantitative agreement with recent experiments of Slipchenko and Vilesov (2005) [26] and disagrees with the m...
متن کاملSuperglass phase of 4He.
We study different solid phases of 4He, by means of path integral Monte Carlo simulations based on a recently developed worm algorithm. Our study includes simulations that start off from a high- gas phase, which is then "quenched" down to T = 0.2 K. The low-T properties of the system crucially depend on the initial state. While an ideal hcp crystal is a clear-cut insulator, the disordered syste...
