Relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov Calculation of Specific Heat of the Inner Crust of Neutron Stars

We calculate the specific heat of the inner crust of neutron stars within a local-density approximation to an improved relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory. Non-uniformness of the system enhances the specific heat in particular at low temperatures. The degree of enhancement is similar to that in the spherical phase of Elgar{\o}y et al. We examine a schematic interpolation between the results of Broglia et al. adopting the Gogny force and ours based on the Lagrangian of the relativistic mean field model.Comment: 5 pages, Talk presented at the 3rd JAERI Symposium on Science of Hadrons under Extreme Conditions, January 200

Relativistic and Non-Relativistic Mean Field Investigation of the Superdeformed Bands in 62^{62}Zn

Following the discovery of the superdeformed(SD) band in $^{62}$Zn, we calculate several low-lying SD bands in $^{62}$Zn using Relativistic Mean Field and Skyrme-Hartree-Fock models. Both models predict similar results, but still we can see some qualitative differences in the results of these two models, which are coming from the difference of the detail of single-particle levels.Comment: 17 pages, 4 eps figures included, uses REVTeX, discussion on other Zn isotopes than $^{62}$Zn is omitted, considerable modifications are don

Constructing Effective Pair Wave Function from Relativistic Mean Field Theory with a Cutoff

We propose a simple method to reproduce the ^1S_0 pairing properties of nuclear matter, which are obtained using a sophisticated model, by introducing a density-independent cutoff into the relativistic mean field model. This can be applied successfully to the physically relevant density range.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure

Ordered bicontinuous double-diamond morphology in subsaturation nuclear matter

We propose to identify the new "intermediate" morphology in subsaturation nuclear matter observed in a recent quantum molecular dynamics simulation with the ordered bicontinuous double-diamond structure known in block copolymers. We estimate its energy density by incorporating the normalized area-volume relation given in a literature into the nuclear liquid drop model. The resulting energy density is higher than the other five known morphologies.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, published in Phys. Rev.

Magnetic Properties of Precession Modes Built on High-K Multi-quasiparticle States in ^{178}W

We present an example that shows that the random phase approximation performed on high-K multi-quasiparticle configurations leads to a rotor picture by calculating excitation energies and magnetic properties of ^{178}W. Then we deduce the effective g_R of the high-K rotors and compare it with that of the low-K one.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, Prog. Theor. Phys., accepte
