We have recently developed an integral equation theory for quantum fluids obeying Boltzmann statistics. We refer to it as a generalized Ornstein-Zernike (GOZ) integral equation for quantum fluids. In the present study, the GOZ theory has been applied to atomic impurities immersed in liquid helium-4 at 4 K. Solvation structure of alkali metal and rare gas atoms in the solution was analyzed. The former is a typical example of the so-called ``atomic bubble''; the latter ``snowball''. Detailed thermodynamic analysis will be presented.
