Noncongruent phase transitions in strongly interacting matter within the quantum van der Waals model
Noncongruent phase transitions in strongly interacting matter within the quantum van der Waals model
The non-congruent liquid-gas phase transition (LGPT) in asymmetric nuclear matter is studied using the recently developed Quantum van der Waals model in the grand canonical ensemble. Different values of the electric-to-baryon charge ratio, $Q/B$, are considered. This non-congruent LGPT exhibits several features which are not present in the congruent LGPT …
