Abstract
Using a finite-range density functional, we have investigated the ener getics and structural features of mixed helium clusters. The possibili ty of doping the cluster with a molecule of sulfur hexafluoride is als o considered. It is seen that the repulsion introduced by the impurity strongly modifies the properties of the smallest drops. Although only a qualitative comparison is possible, the gross features displayed by our calculations are in agreement with recent experimental findings.
