Sažetak
Two, three and four ^3He and ^4He atoms in quasi two-dimensional space above graphite and cesium surfaces and in "harmonic" potential perpendicular to the surface have been studied. Using some previously examined variational wave functions and the Diffusion Monte Carlo procedure it has been shown that all molecules: dimers, trimers and tetramers, are bound more strongly than in pure two- and three-dimensional space. The enhancement of binding with respect to unrestricted space is more pronounced on cesium than on graphite. Furthermore, for ^3He_3 (^3He_4) on all studied surfaces, there is an indication that the configuration of a dimer and a "free" particle (two dimers) may be equivalently established.
