Superfluidity and Quantum Melting of para-Hydrogen clusters
Fabio Mezzacapo, Massimo Boninsegni
Abstract
Structural and superfluid properties of para-Hydrogen clusters of size up to N=40 molecules, are studied at low temperature (0.5 K < T < 4 K) by Path Integral Monte Carlo simulations. The superfluid fraction displays an interesting, non-monotonic behavior for 22 < N < 30. We interpret this dependence in terms of variations with N of the cluster structure. Superfluidity is observed at low T in clusters of as many as 27 molecules; in the temperature range considered here, quantum melting is observed in some clusters, which freeze at high temperature.
