Equation of state and magnetic susceptibility of spin polarized isospin asymmetric nuclear matter
Properties of spin polarized isospin asymmetric nuclear matter are studied
within the framework of the Brueckner--Hartree--Fock formalism. The
single-particle potentials of neutrons and protons with spin up and down are
determined for several values of the neutron and proton spin polarizations and
the asymmetry parameter. It is found an almost linear and symmetric variation
of the single-particle potentials as increasing these parameters. An analytic
parametrization of the total energy per particle as a function of the asymmetry
and spin polarizations is constructed. This parametrization is employed to
compute the magnetic susceptibility of nuclear matter for several values of the
asymmetry from neutron to symmetric matter. The results show no indication of a
ferromagnetic transition at any density for any asymmetry of nuclear matter.Comment: 23 pages, 8 figures, 2 tables (submitted to Phys. Rev. C
