We calculate the low-momentum N-N effective potential obtained in the OBE approximation, inside a nuclear plasma at finite temperature, as described by the relativistic σ-ω model. We analyze the screening effects on the attractive part of the potential in the intermediate range as density or temperature increase. In the long range the potential shows Friedel-like oscillations instead of the usu...

When a metal undergoes a transition to an insulator it will lose its electronic Fermi surface. Interestingly, in so...
