Abstract

The adsorption of4He films for coverages from1/4 to3 monolayers ona H2 surface at low temperatures is studied with Path Integral Monte Carlo. We calculate the binding energy per4He atom to the substrate, density profiles of4He and H2, zero point motion of4He and H2, and the superfluid density of4He.
