The 4He3 weakly interacting system is analysed by constructing the full interaction as a sum of two-body (2B) potentials chosen among the most recent proposals from the literature. The spatial density distributions of the three bound atoms are obtained using a diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) algorithm and a stochastic analysis under specific geometric constraints is carried out with the resulting densities in order to recover a more conventional structural picture for such floppy system. The total binding energies were obtained with the chosen potentials analysed in the present work, using the DMC algorithm, and are compared with previous published results. The ensuing spatial distributions are analysed in some detail to select the dominant structures from a conventional triangular description of this very floppy molecule.

Some ground states features of 32 S , 39 K , 40 Ca and 48 Ca nuclei are investigated using the Hartree–Fock method with the Skyrme SKM * and SLy4 forces calculated in two different code implementations. The calculated total binding energies per particle and root mean square (rms) nuclear charge radii using the Skyrme–Hartree–Fock (SHF) + BCS method are compared with relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory and experimental values. The obtained charge density distributions from these code implementations are compared with the experimental data. Pairing effects are also included in calculations for the same nuclei. Variations of the total binding energies per particle and rms nuclear charge radii were investigated as the last shell nucleons were carried to the upper shell.

Binding energies of biexcitons and charged excitons in GaAs/Al 0.3 Ga 0.7 As quantum wires were calculated by the diffusion Monte Carlo method. The binding energy for the negatively charged excitons is enhanced strongly, because of the mismatch of the electron and the hole wave functions. The resulting biexciton binding energy reproduces experimental results quite well.
