Abstract

We study non-uniform structures of the mixed phase during the first-order kaon condensation, using the density functional theory with the relativistic mean-field model. Including the Coulomb potential and applying the Gibbs conditions in a proper way, we numerically determine the density profiles of nucleons, electrons and condensed kaons. The importance of the Coulomb screening effects is elucidated and thereby we suggest that the Maxwell construction is effectively justified.
