Abstract

We use a density-dependent relativistic mean field model to study the properties of nuclear systems at finite temperature. The liquid-gas phase transition of symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter is discussed. A limiting pressure plim for hot asymmetric nuclear matter has been found because of the density dependence of the nucleon-nucleon-rho meson coupling. It is found that the liquid-gas phase transition cannot take place if p > plim. The binodal surface for this model is addressed. In addition, we calculated the asymmetry parameter dependence of the critical temperature.
