Abstract
Relativistic mean field Hartree and Thomas-Fermi calculations are made for infinite and semiinfinite symmetric nuclear matter. Cubic and quartic scalar meson self-interactions are included. The strength of these self-interactions, the scalar and vector meson coupling constants, and the scalar meson mass are considered as parameters chosen to fit the empirical properties of nuclear matter and of the nuclear surface. Acceptable fits imply large self-interactions. No abnormal nuclear matter solutions are found. The best fit of the nuclear surface yields a compressibility coefficient of 150 ± 50 MeV. The Hartree and TF results are in good agreement for larger surface thicknesses.
