Ferromagnetism of dense neutron matter

Abstract: The possibility of a ferromagnetic transition in dense neutron matter is investigated using a simplified model of a pure hard core gas, with core radius c. Previous estimates of the density at which the ferromagnetic transition would occur are shown to be incorrect. The inclusion of terms cubic in kFc, in particular the P state interaction, leads to the conclusion that neutron matter in the liquid phase should not exhibit ferromagnetism.

“…When introducing isospin asymmetry in the nuclear medium a splitting of the single-particle potentials occurs due to the strong isospin dependence of the ΣN interaction. The splittings among the Σ + , Σ 0 and Σ − potentials as obtained in our microscopic calculation have a nonlinear dependence on the isospin asymmetry which goes beyond the usual (linear) parametrization in terms of an isovector Lane potential [82].…”

“…On the contrary, it has not been possible to prove without any ambiguity the existence of Σ-hypernuclei (see e.g., Refs. [18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26]) which suggest that the Σ-nucleon interaction is most probably repulsive [27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36].…”

“…The possible existence of a phase transition of neutron matter to a ferromagnetic state has motivated many investigations of the equation of state (EOS) of spin-polarized neutron matter. In addition to the interest that such a transition could have in the context of neutron stars [1], this problem has gained interest in itself and has been addressed in the framework of very different theoretical approaches [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Whereas some of these calculations, like for instance those based on Skyrme-like interactions, predict a transition at densities in the range (1 − 4)ρ 0 (with ρ 0 = 0.16 fm −3 the saturation density of symmetric nuclear matter), others, like recent Monte Carlo [7] or Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (BHF) calculations [9,10] using modern two-and three-body realistic interactions, exclude such a transition at least up to densities around five times ρ 0 .…”
