AIkali atoms have been shown previously to have only unstable binding states inside liquid He-4. We calculate the equilibrium configurations and binding energies of single alkali atoms near the liquid-vapor interface of He-4 and He-3. A simple interface model is used to predict the surface deformation due to the presence of the atoms. A more realistic density functional model yields somewhat higher energies in the case of He-4. For all alkali atoms, we find the surface binding energies to be around 10 to 20 K. A similar analysis with atom-H-2 interactions finds that alkali atoms tend to submerge into liquid H-2, with the exception of Li
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
