Negative heat capacities and first order phase transitions in nuclei
L. G. Moretto, J. B. Elliott, L. Phair +1
Anomalous negative heat capacities have been claimed as indicators of first order phase transitions in finite systems in general, and fornuclear systems in particular. A thermodyna…
The three-dimensional Ising model: A paradigm of liquid-vapor coexistence in nuclear multifragmentation
C. M. Mader, A. Chappars, J. B. Elliott +3
Clusters in the three-dimensional Ising model rigorously obey reducibility and thermal scaling up to the critical temperature. The barriers extracted from Arrhenius plots depend on…
Negative heat capacities and first order phase transitions in nuclei and other mesoscopic systems
L. G. Moretto, J. B. Elliott, L. Phair +1
The origin of predicted and observed anomalies in caloric curves of nuclei and other mesoscopic systems is investigated. It is shown that a straightforward thermodynamical treatmen…
