Manifestations of local supersolidity of ^{4}He around a charged molecular impurity
A frozen, solid helium core, dubbed a snowball, is typically observed around cations in liquid helium. Here we discover, using path integral simulations, that around a cationic molecular impurity, protonated methane, the ^{4}He atoms are indeed strongly localized akin to snowballs but still particip...
