Neutron localization induced by the pairing field in an inhomogeneous neutron matter
arXiv:nucl-th/0508023 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.75.012803
Abstract
It is shown that in an inhomogeneous neutron matter the pairing field bounds neutrons around the Fermi level leading to the formation of localized Andreev states. In the case of the inner crust of neutron stars the localization length has been determined as a function of the nuclear density.
