The structure and properties of the environment of impurity atoms Im immersed in liquid helium are examined. It is demonstrated that there are two qualitatively different types of structure of the layer of helium atoms nearest to Im: structures characterized by attraction and repulsion. In the structures with attraction toward the center (for strong Im–He interaction) the Im–He distance is greater than the equilibrium distance for the Im–He pair potential, and the density and localization of helium atoms are greater than in the bulk. Here the number of helium atoms n in the layer is almost independent of the external pressure. In structures with repulsion, which exist for alkali metal atoms, the Im–He distances are shorter than the equilibrium ones, while the density is lower than in bulk helium. For T∼1 K several states with different n are populated, with energies differing only by ∼0.1 K, and n decreases substantially as the pressure is increased. On the basis of this analysis an interpretation is give...
