The diffusion Monte Carlo technique is used to calculate and analyze the excitation spectrum of a single {sup 3}He atom bound to a cluster with N {sup 4}He atoms, with the aim of establishing the most adequate filling ordering of single-fermion orbits to the mixed clusters with a large number of {sup 3}He atoms. The resulting ordering looks like the rotational spectrum of a diatomic molecule, being classified only by the angular momentum of the level, although vibrational-like excitations appear at higher energies for sufficiently large N.
