Recently, it was predicted that a superfluid can acquire angular momentum via an alternative, microscopic route -- namely, through interaction with rotating impurities, forming so-called `angulon quasiparticles' [Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 203001 (2015)]. The angulon instabilities correspond to transfer of a small number of angular momentum quanta from the impurity to the superfluid, as opposed to vortex instabilities, where angular momentum is quantized in units of ℏ  per atom. Furthermore, since conventional impurities (such as molecules) represent three-dimensional (3D) rotors, the angular momentum transferred is intrinsically 3D as well, as opposed to a merely planar rotation which is inherent to vortices. Herein we show that the angulon theory can explain the anomalous broadening of the spectroscopic lines observed for CH 3   and NH 3   molecules in superfluid helium nanodroplets, thereby providing a fingerprint of the emerging angulon instabilities in experiment."}],"publisher":"American Physical Society","oa":1,"external_id":{"isi":["000416564000004"]},"oa_version":"Submitted Version","isi":1,"publication":"Physical Review Materials","doi":"10.1103/PhysRevMaterials.1.035602","ec_funded":1,"date_updated":"2023-09-22T09:53:42Z","day":"08","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"year":"2017","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09220"}],"intvolume":"         1","publist_id":"6405","author":[{"full_name":"Cherepanov, Igor","id":"339C7E5A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Igor","last_name":"Cherepanov"},{"id":"37CB05FA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Lemeshko","first_name":"Mikhail","orcid":"0000-0002-6990-7802","full_name":"Lemeshko, Mikhail"}],"month":"08","citation":{"apa":"Cherepanov, I., &#38; Lemeshko, M.
