Caloric curve in fragmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study phase transitions of small two dimensional Lennard Jones drops via microcanonical molecular dynamics in a broad energy range. We found that the caloric curve can be extended to high energies to comprehend high evaporation rates and highly non-equilibrium phenomena such as multifragmentation. Multifragmentation appears as a constant temperature region in the caloric curve like the solid-liquid phase transition. Typeset using REVTEX

We study fragmentation of small atomistic clusters via molecular dynamics. We calculate the time scales related to fragment formation and emission. We also show that some degree of thermalization is achieved during the expansion process, which allows the determination of a local temperature. In this way we can calculate the break-up temperature as a function of excita-tion energy, i.e. the frag...

متن کاملActivation-Induced Apoptosis in T cells: Effect of Age and Caloric Restriction
We have previously shown that the proliferative response of T cells to antigenic or mitogenic stimulus decreased with age and that caloric resection (CR) attenuated the age-related decline in proliferation and IL-2 expression. Because activation-induced apoptosis is known to regulate cell proliferation and eliminate the high number of activated cells during an immune response, it was of interes...
متن کاملOn a variational principle model for the Nuclear Caloric curve
Following the lead of a recent work we perform a variational principle model calculation for the nuclear caloric curve. A Skyrme type interaction with and without momentum dependence is used. The calculation is done for a large nucleus, i.e, in the nuclear matter limit. Thus we address the issue of volume fragmentation only. Nonetheless the results are similar to the previous, largely phenomeno...
متن کاملThermodynamics of a finite system of classical particles with short and long range interactions and nuclear fragmentation
We describe a finite inhomogeneous three dimensional system of classical particles which interact through short and (or) long range interactions by means of a simple analytic spin model. We work out the thermodynamic properties of the system in the framework of the grand canonical ensemble. We show that the system experiences a phase transition at fixed average density in the thermodynamic limi...
