Liquid-Gas Coexistence and Critical Behavior in Boxed Pseudo-Fermi Matter

Nuclear Theory 2016-09-08 v1

Abstract

A schematic model is presented that allows one to study the behavior of interacting pseudo-Fermi matter locked in a thermostatic box. As a function of the box volume and temperature, the matter is seen to show all of the familiar charactersitics of a Van der Waals gas, which include the coexistence of two phases under certain circumstances and the presence of a critical point.
