Relativistic Thomas-fermi Model at Finite Temperatures
نویسنده
چکیده
We briefly review the Thomas-Fermi statistical model of atoms in the classical non-relativistic formulation and in the generalised finite-nucleus relativistic formulation. We then discuss the classical generalisation of the model to finite temperatures in the non-relativistic approximation and present a new relativistic model at finite temperatures, investigating how to recover the existing theory in the limit of low temperatures. This work is intended to be a propedeutical study for the evaluation of equilibrium configurations of relativistic “hot” white dwarfs.

Scaling in Relativistic Thomas–Fermi Approach for Nuclei
By using the scaling method we derive the virial theorem for the relativistic mean field model of nuclei treated in the Thomas–Fermi approach. The Thomas–Fermi solutions statisfy the stability condition against scaling. We apply the formalism to study the excitation energy of the breathing mode in finite nuclei with several relativistic parameter sets of common use. PACS: 21.60.-n; 24.30.Cz; 21...

متن کاملLiquid-gas phase transition in nuclei in the relativistic Thomas-Fermi theory
The equation of state (EOS) of finite nuclei is constructed in the relativistic Thomas-Fermi theory using the non-linear σ − ω − ρ model. The caloric curves are calculated by confining the nuclei in the freeze-out volume taken to be a sphere of size about 4 to 8 times the normal nuclear volume. The results obtained from the relativistic theory are not significantly different from those obtained...
متن کاملVariational Thomas - Fermi Theory of a Nonuniform Bose Condensate at Zero Temperature
We derive a description of the spatially inhomogeneous Bose-Einstein condensate which treats the system locally as a homogeneous system. This approach, similar to the ThomasFermi model for the inhomogeneous many-particle fermion system, is well-suited to describe the atomic Bose-Einstein condensates that have recently been obtained experimentally through atomic trapping and cooling. In this pap...
متن کاملScaling Calculation of Isoscalar Giant Resonances in Relativistic Thomas–Fermi Theory
We derive analytical expressions for the excitation energy of the isoscalar giant monopole and quadrupole resonances in finite nuclei, by using the scaling method and the extended Thomas–Fermi approach to relativistic mean field theory. We study the ability of several non-linear σ − ω parameter sets of common use in reproducing the experimental data. For monopole oscillations the calculations a...
