Curvature effects on the surface thickness and tension at the free interface of 4He systems

The thickness W and the surface energy σA at the free interface of superfluid 4He are studied. Results of calculations carried out using density functionals for cylindrical and spherical systems are presented in a unified way, including a comparison with the behavior of planar slabs. It is found tha...
