Current and condensate distributions in rotational excited states of quantum liquid clusters

E. Cheng, Michele A. McMahon, K. Birgitta Whaley

Recent quantum Monte Carlo calculations of small quantum clusters have shown that it is feasible to study their rotationally excited states directly. [M. A. McMahon, R. N. Barnett, and K. B. Whaley, J. Chem. Phys. 99, 8816 (1993).] We extend this work by sampling, from optimized variational wave functions, the current and Bose condensate distributions in (4He)7, (H2)7, and (4He)40 clusters. We demonstrate that these distributions are useful tools in identifying the location and nature of rotational excitations. With different constructions of rotational wave functions, the excitations can be either localized (as surface modes), or delocalized throughout the cluster analogous to the bulk superfluid vortex states. Condensate depletions in the excited states are observed, except for the delocalized excitation, where we find a higher condensate fraction than in the ground state.
