Finite Size scaling and the nuclear liquid-gas phase transition

Recent analyses of multifragmentation data in terms of Fisher's model have led to the estimate of the coexistence curve of finite nuclear matter as well as of the location of the critical point. In order to extrapolate those results to infinite nuclear matter, finite size effects have to be tak...

Zusammenfassung:Recent analyses of multifragmentation data in terms of Fisher's model have led to the estimate of the coexistence curve of finite nuclear matter as well as of the location of the critical point. In order to extrapolate those results to infinite nuclear matter, finite size effects have to be taken into account. Guided by the finite size behavior of the three-dimensional Ising model, we propose a modified Fisher Droplet model expression that incorporates surface and correlation length effects.
