Motivations to study rare gas trimers:
Bulk-like properties investigated in larger (micro, nano) clusters:
Molecular superfluidity
Phase transitions
Trimers constitute extreme limits
He2X clusters exhibit to peculiar properties (Efimov effect, Borromean systems)

• Study of energy spectrum by means of a DGF approach
• Efimov behaviour for He3 and LiHe2
• Rovibrational analysis performed with a V+R scheme and a DGF-based method. Comparison with an exact hyperspherical coordinates method reveals good performance even for large values of J
• DGF and PIMC thermal analysis:– Appearance of liquid-like/diffusive behaviour with T – DGF description requires more rovibrational states
