Abstract
The thermodynamic properties of nuclei are studied in a mean-field model by using a Skryme interaction. Properties of two-component systems are investigated over the complete range of proton fraction from a system of pure neutrons to a system of only protons. Besides volume, symmetry, and Coulomb effects we also include momentum- or velocity-dependent forces. Applications of the results developed are then given and include nuclear mechanical and chemical instability and an associated liquid-gas phase transition in two-component systems. The velocity dependence leads to further changes in the coexistence curve and nuclear mechanical and chemical instability curves.
