Abstract

The importance of quantum mechanics for the thermal behaviour of Argon clusters with special respect to phase transitions is investigated applying a Path-Integral Monte-Carlo (PIMC) method. Results for the small-angle neutron scattering function (SANS) for various cluster sizes and temperatures are presented.
