Static and thermodynamic properties of low-density supercritical 4He—breakdown of the Feynman–Hibbs approximation

We study the applicability of the semiclassical Feynman and Hibbs (FH) (second-order orfourth-order) effective potentials to the description of the thermodynamic properties of quantumfluids at finite temperatures. First, we use path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulations toestimate the thermodynami...
