We have experimentally studied the electronic $3pleftarrow 3s$ excitation of Na atoms attached to $^3$He droplets by means of laser-induced fluorescence as well as beam depletion spectroscopy. From the similarities of the spectra (width/shift of absorption lines) with these of Na on $^4$He droplets, we conclude that sodium atoms reside in a ``dimple on the droplet surface. The experimental results are supported by Density Functional calculations at zero temperature, which confirm the surface location of sodium on $^3$He droplets, and provide a microscopic description of the ``dimple structure.
Within density functional theory, we have obtained the structure of $^4$He droplets doped with neutral calcium atoms. These results have been used, in conjunction with newly determined {it ab-initio} $^1Sigma$ and $^1Pi$ Ca-He pair potentials, to add
Alkali metal dimers attached to the surface of helium nanodroplets are found to be efficiently doubly ionized by electron transfer-mediated decay (ETMD) when photoionizing the helium droplets. This process is evidenced by detecting in coincidence two
The desorption of excited rubidium (Rb) atoms off the surface of helium (He) nanodroplets is studied in detail using femtosecond time-resolved photoion and photoelectron imaging spectroscopy in combination with quantum wave packet simulations. The go
Mixed $^3$He-$^4$He droplets created by hydrodynamic instability of a cryogenic fluid-jet may acquire angular momentum during their passage through the nozzle of the experimental apparatus. These free-standing droplets cool down to very low temperatu
We present systematic results, based on density functional calculations, for the structure and energetics of $^3$He and $^4$He nanodroplets doped with alkaline earth atoms. We predict that alkaline earth atoms from Mg to Ba go to the center of $^3$He
