Path Integral Monte Carlo Simulations of Helium: From Superfluid Droplets to Quantum Crystals

Abstract

dc:description

Finally, we have calculated the Deybe-Waller factor in solid helium for a range of temperatures and densities, and compared the scaling behavior with the predictions of harmonic theory. The first non-Gaussian contribution to the density distribution was calculated.
