F. Pederiva et al., VARIATIONAL MONTE-CARLO CALCULATIONS FOR SOLID-LIQUID COEXISTENCE ANDINTERFACE IN HE-4 WITH SHADOW WAVE-FUNCTION, Physica. B, Condensed matter, 194, 1994, pp. 967-968
We introduce an extended Shadow Wave Function to describe the solid-li
quid coexistence in He-4 at 0 temperature. The shadow-shadow interacti
on parameter is taken to be linearly dependent on the local density op
erator. This is the first realistic microscopic description of the sol
id-liquid interface in quantum systems.
