Abstract: (Elsevier)
From a constructed finite-range momentum- and density-dependent effective interaction, we arrive at the equation of state for infinite nuclear matter. This interaction reproduces ground-state properties of finite nuclear systems; in addition it gives a proper energy dependence of the single-particle potential. For symmetric and asymmetric hot nuclear matter, we find the critical and phase-separation temperature, the specific heats, incompressibility and variations of effective mass with temperature and density. For finite nuclei, we also find the limiting temperature, i.e. the maximum temperature that such nuclear systems can sustain.
