We fit the frequencies to a lattice model and examine whether such atoms could become a supersolid, that is have a non-classical rotational inertia. We find that the scaling with respect to the number of exchanging atoms is such that superfluid behavior will not be observed in a perfect 4He crystal.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-09-13T22:04:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "supersolid phase", "path integral monte carlo", "bulk hcp 4he", "atoms undergo ring exchange", "perfect 4he crystal" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
