The main properties of magnetized strangelets, namely, their energy per baryon, radius and electric charge, are studied. Temperature effects are also taken into account in order to study their stability compared to the 56Fe isotope and…

We investigate, at both zero and finite temperature, the properties of strangelets versus the electric charge Z and strangeness S. The strangelet radius is not a monotonic function of either charge or strangeness, and a minimum is reached…
A model for strangelets at finite temperature is built, in which the quark masses are dynamically generated. The dynamical chiral symmetry breaking inside strangelets at finite temperature is investigated. It is found that the chiral…
Matter consisting of up, down and strange quarks, socalled Strange Quark Matter, has been hypothesized to be stable in bulk, and conceivably stable or metastable in finite systems---strangelets---as an alternative state to ordinary baryonic…
We study the stability of small strangelets by employing a simple model of strange matter as a gas of non-interacting fermions confined in a bag. We solve the Dirac equation and populate the energy levels of the bag one quark at a time. Our…

Within the MIT bag model picture of QCD, we have studied the stability of finite size strangelets at finite temperature with baryon number $A \leq 100$. The light quarks $u$ and $d$ are considered massless while mass of the $s$ quark is…
