Abstract
Variational Monte Carlo method is used to calculate ground state properties of droplets, containing 70, 112, 168, 240, 330, and 728 particles. The resulting particle and kinetic energy densities are used as an input in the Feynman-Lekner theory for impurities. The kinetic energy density of atoms and the energy of the surface states are compared with the results of previous phenomenological calculations.
