Caloric curve in fragmentation

Nuclear Theory 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We study phase transitions of small two dimensional Lennard Jones drops via microcanonical molecular dynamics in a broad energy range. We found that the caloric curve can be extended to high energies to comprehend high evaporation rates and highly non-equilibrium phenomena such as multifragmentation. Multifragmentation appears as a constant temperature region in the caloric curve like the solid-liquid phase transition.
