Liquid to vapor phase transition in excited nuclei Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The liquid to vapor phase transition in excited nuclei was studied and discussed. The critical exponents, critical points, surface energy coefficients, enthalpy of evaporation and critical compressibility factors associated with the phase transition were determined. Experimental phase diagrams describing the liquid vapor coexistence of finite neutral nuclear matter were constructed and explained.
