Energetics of pure and doped helium droplets - application to interpreting pick-up experiments

We use helium density functional theory to calculate the energies of spherically symmetric 4He helium droplets both with and without heteroatom dopants. Self-consistent calculations using an imaginary time propagation method are used to compute structural and energetic properties of these droplets r...
