31. The locations of the two components of the broad line in liquid helium and in drops are sensibly the same, whereas the relative intensities of the components seem as exchanged.

38. Since the hydrodynamic mass depends on R, we have computed w (R) using several M* values between M* =40 a.u., which corresponds to the mass in the bulk liquid, and the free Mg mass M* =24 a.u. This yields the band of w (R) values displayed in the figure.
39. The mean value 〈L2〉 is calculated as Q-1 Tr (L2 e-H/ kB T) = Q-1 ∑nℓ ℓ (ℓ+1) (2ℓ+1) e- Enℓ / kB T in the quantal approach and as Q-1 ∫0∞ dR R2 ∑ ℓ (ℓ+1) (2ℓ+1) e- Veff (R) / kB T in the semiclassical approach.

51. We note at this point that a quantitative estimation of the energy barrier height temporarily preventing the collapse of two Mg atoms into a dimer is made difficult by the fact that its actual value is determined by a delicate balance between the Mg-He interactions and the long-range part of the Mg-Mg interaction in vacuum, which is affected by some uncertainty (see Refs.). Any small difference in the van der Waals tail of the Mg-Mg interaction at distances of ∼9-10 Å would result in a large change in the estimated barrier height. Moreover, we want also to stress the difficulty of estimating the attempting frequency [inverse of the prefactor multiplying the exponential in Eq. 20], in view of the kind of configurations appearing in this problem; see, e.g., Fig. 9.
