TL;DR
This paper investigates mesoscopic systems of trapped bosonic particles forming shell structures, revealing a novel mesoscopic supersolid state where superfluidity persists within a solid-like configuration.
Contribution
It introduces the concept of a mesoscopic supersolid formed by trapped bosons, demonstrating superfluidity in a shell-structured, solid-like state.
Findings
Superfluid behavior persists in shell-structured bosonic systems
Formation of a mesoscopic supersolid state
Control of properties via confinement strength
Abstract
When a few tens of charged particles are trapped in a spherical electrostatic potential at low temperature they form concentric shells resembling atoms. These ``artificial atoms'' can be easily controlled by varying the confinement strength. We analyze such systems for the case that the particles are bosons and find superfluid behavior which even persists in the solid state. This novel state of matter is a mesoscopic supersolid.
