Caloric curve for finite nuclei in Thomas-Fermi theory Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • In a finite temperature Thomas-Fermi theory with realistic nuclear interactions, we construct caloric curves for finite nuclei enclosed in a sphere of about 4 to 8 times the normal nuclear volume. The specific heat capacity [Formula Presented] shows a peaked structure that is possibly indicative of a liquid-gas phase transition in finite nuclear systems. 1997 The American Physical Society.
