Abstract
We have investigated how helium atoms are distributed within a mixed

large drop with

N
4
. For drops doped with a
SF

molecule or a Xe atom, we have found that the number of
3
He
atoms within the volume containing the first two solvation shells increases when
N

decreases in such a way that these dopants may be in a superfluid environment for

, which gradually disappears as
N

decreases. The result is in qualitative agreement with recent experimental data.
