Quantum Monte Carlo study of Mg-doped droplets of helium-4 at zero temperature — •Yaroslav Lutsyshyn and Dieter Bauer — Institut für Physik, Universität Rostock, 18051 Rostock, Germany

Mg-doped helium droplets are believed to have an observable metastable state in which the alkali atoms remain separated by a considerable distance, thus forming so-called ``atomic foam''. The exact nature of such a state is not well understood. We study the long-distance interaction induced between a pair of Mg atoms due to the confinement effects in the superfluid. We will present quantum Monte Carlo results for the effective interaction of the dopants.
