Properties of two component systems are investigated over the complete range of proton fraction from a system of pure neutrons to a system of only protons. Besides volume, symmetry, and Coulomb effects we also include momentum or velocity dependent forces. Applications of the results developed are then given which include nuclear mechanical and chemical instability and an associated liquid/gas phase transition in two component systems. The velocity dependence leads to further changes in the coexistence curve and nuclear mechanical and chemical instability curves.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-03-28T08:26:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05.70.-a", "21.65.-f", "64.10.+h", "24.10.Pa" ], "keywords": [ "liquid-gas phase transition", "mechanical instability", "nuclear chemical", "component systems", "mean field model" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review C", "year": 2008, "month": "May", "volume": 77, "number": 5, "pages": "054612" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 759661, "adsabs": "2008PhRvC..77e4612L" } } }
