The Thermal Fermi–Gas Model and Liquid–Gas Phase Transitions in Nuclear Matters11The project supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), under a special program for young investigators, through grant No. 18905002.

Abstract

The liquid–gas phase transitions in nuclear matters are investigated by employing the thermal Fermi–gas model and the Skyrme–type nucleon–nucleon interactions. Various situations with different sophistications are under consideration. The nuclear equations of state (EOS), , are derived for these situations. From these EOS, the critical temperature and density are obtained by making use of the inflection conditions.
