The nuclear liquid-gas phase transition within Fermionic Molecular Dynamics
arXiv:nucl-th/9703042 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(97)00865-4
Abstract
The time evolution of excited nuclei, which are in equilibrium with the surrounding vapour, is investigated. It is shown that the finite nuclear systems undergo a first oder phase transition. The caloric curve is presented for excited Oxygen, Magnesium, Aluminum and Calcium and the critical temperature is estimated for Oxygen.
