A Quantum Monte Carlo Study of Static Properties of One 3He Atom in   Superfluid 4He
  The local environment and the energetic properties of one $^3$He atom solved in bulk superfluid $^4$He are studied by means of the diffusion Monte Carlo method. The chemical potential of the $^3$He impurity is calculated with a generalized reweighting method which allows for a reliable estimation of this quantity. Results for the chemical potential, radial distribution and structure functions, volume-excess parameter, and effective mass are given for several pressures and compared with available experimental data. An overall agreement with experiment is obtained except for the kinetic energy of the $^3$He atom which, in accordance with previous theoretical estimations, appears to be considerably larger than determinations from deep-inelastic neutron scattering.
