Abstract: (Elsevier)

An extended Fermi-gas model is presented to describe volume, surface and asymmetry contributions to the nuclear excitation energy. The potential part of the nuclear energy is treated within Brueckner's energy-density formalism; appropriate corrections due to surface and asymmetry effects are included. An excited nucleus is interpreted as a metastable superheated liquid. The excitation energy as a function of the temperature is given by a sum of volume, surface and asymmetry terms. The corresponding level-density formula is in reasonable agreement with experimental values for a suitable choice of the nuclear incompressibility modulus. It is shown that the surface contribution is appreciable.
