Description

It is shown that the curvature dependence of the surface tension of nuclear matter is analogous to that of normal liquids. This can be described quantitatively by the modified Tolman equation. The surface tension of plane nuclear matter is 2.4 x 1017 Nm-1. According to its physical meaning the delta-parameter has been interpreted as the half-width of the nuclear surface. (author)
