Abstract

Variational Monte Carlo method is used to calculate ground state properties of 4He droplets, containing 70, 112, 168, 240, 330, and 728 particles. The resulting particle and kinetic energy densities are used as an input in the Feynman-Lekner theory for 3He impurities. The kinetic energy density of 4He atoms and the energy of the 3He surface states are compared with the results of previous phenomenological calculations.
