In the proposed field theoretic model to study nuclear matter and its phase transition to quark matter, vector mesons (ωμ) have the usual coupling to fermionic currents and also scalar type coupling involving ωμωμ with fermionic fields and scalar mesons. The effect of this modified vector meson interaction for cold symmetric nuclear matter is investigated using relativistic mean-field theory. One of the striking features of the model is that at extremely high density part of the energy density due to vector mesons is proportional to the density ρ (instead of ρ2 as in Walecka model, Boguta model etc.) where Fermi gas energy density varies as ρ4/3.

The phase transition between nuclear matter and quark matter is examined. The relativistic mean field theory (RMF) is considered with interacting nucleons and mesons using TM1 parameter set for the nuclear matter equations of state. It is found that the transition point depends on coupling constant αs and bag pressure. From the study of the structure of a hybrid neutron star, it is observed that the star contains quark matter in the interior and neutron matter on the outer periphery.

We have studied phase transition from hadron matter to quark matter in the presence of high magnetic fields incorporating the trapped electron neutrinos at finite temperatures. We have used the density dependent quark mass (DDQM) model for the quark phase while the hadron phase is treated in the frame-work of relativistic mean field theory. It is seen that the energy density in the hadron phase at phase transition decreases with both magnetic field and temperature.

We use a modified SU(2) chiral sigma model to study nuclear matter at high density using mean field approach. We also study the phase transition of nuclear matter to quark matter in the interior of highly dense neutron stars. Stable solutions of Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff equations representing hybrid stars are obtained with a maximum mass of 1.69M⊙, radii around 9.3 km and a quark matter core constituting nearly 55–85% of the star radii.

In this work, the effect of thin films on the orientational, thermotropic and optical properties and on the peculiarities of the nematic–isotropic liquid phase transition has been carried out. The planar textures of MBBA+EBBA eutectic mixture on the surfaces coated with Al 2 O 3 and ZrO 2 thin films have been obtained. The optical and thermodynamical parameters of the obtained, oriented textures have been determined. The effect of thin films on the temperature width of heterophase region and on the nematic–isotropic liquid phase transition temperatures has been investigated. The shift of the phase transition temperatures and the change of the temperature width of the heterophase region have been revealed. For the analysis of peculiarities of the nematic–isotropic liquid phase transition and the heterophase regions of this transition, the mean field theory has been used.

Abstract Electron-electron interactions can be useful for realizing new nontrivial topological phases of matter. Here, we show by means of a tight-binding model and mean field theory how electron-electron interactions can lead to a topological phase transition. By externally adding or removing electrons from the system a band inversion between two bands with dierent parity is induced. This leads to a topological nontrivial phase if spin-orbit coupling is present. Besides the toy-model illustrating this mechanism, we also propose SmB6 as a possible playground for experimentally realizing a topological phase transition by external tuning.
