Variational Calculations for He Impurities on He Droplets
Variational Monte Carlo method is used to calculate ground state properties
of He droplets, containing 70, 112, 168, 240, 330, and 728 particles. The
resulting particle and kinetic energy densities are used as an input in the
Feynman-Lekner theory for He impurities. The kinetic energy density of
He atoms and the energy of the He surface states are compared with the
results of previous phenomenological calculations.Comment: 12 pages, in revtex 3.0, with 5 .ps figure
