Structured Mixed Phase is Favored in Neutron Stars
Michael B. Christiansen, Norman K. Glendenning
We give a general thermodynamical argument showing that in neutron stars, the Coulomb structured mixed phase is always favored for any first order phase transition involving system…
Surface Tension between Kaon Condensate and Normal Nuclear Matter Phase
Michael B. Christiansen, Norman K. Glendenning, Jurgen Schaffner-Bielich
We calculate for the first time the surface tension and curvature coefficient of a first order phase transition between two possible phases of cold nuclear matter, a normal nuclear…
Finite size effects and the mixed quark-hadron phase in neutron stars
Michael B. Christiansen, Norman K. Glendenning
We demonstrate that the form and location (not the size or spacing) of the energetically preferred geometrical structure of the crystalline quark-hadron mixed phase in a neutron st…
Color Singlet Strangelets
Dan Mønster Jensen, Jes Madsen, Michael B. Christiansen
When considering strangelets at finite temperature it is important to obey the constraint that any observed state must be color singlet. This constraint results in an increase in s…
Large nucleation distances from impurities in the cosmological quark-hadron transition
Michael B. Christiansen, Jes Madsen
We calculate the mean nucleation distance, , in a first order cosmological quark-hadron phase transition. For homogeneous nucleation we find that self-consistent inclusion…
Color singlet suppression of quark-gluon plasma formation
Jes Madsen, Dan M. Jensen, Michael B. Christiansen
The rate of quark-gluon plasma droplet nucleation in superheated hadronic matter is calculated within the MIT bag model. The requirements of color singletness and (to less extent)…
