PHYSICAL REVIEW C 84, 037601 (2011) Isotopic dependence of nuclear temperatures Jun Su1,2 and Feng-Shou Zhang1,2,3,* 1The Key Laboratory of Beam Technology and Material Modi?cation of Ministry of Education, College of Nuclear Science and Technology, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China 2Beijing Radiation Center, Beijing 100875, China 3Center of Theoretical Nuclear Physics, National Laboratory of Heavy Ion Accelerator of Lanzhou, Lanzhou 730000, China (Received 28 June 2011; published 1 September 2011) A systematic study of isotope temperatures has been presented for heavy-ion collisions at 600 MeV/nucleon via the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model in the company of the statistical decay model (GEMINI). We ?nd that the isospin dependence of the isotope temperatures in multifragmentation is weak; however, this effect is still visible over a wide isotopic range. The isotope temperatures for the neutron-rich projectiles are larger than those for the neutron-poor projectiles. We also ?nd that the isotope temperatures calculated by the model decrease with increasing nuclear mass.

Within the same some seventy years ago [1,2]. During the past two decades, theoretical framework, but for the SBM effective interaction, many experiments were committed to measuring the nuclear the caloric curves for isobaric 150Sm and 150Cs were found to be temperatures in multifragmentation [3–7]. The early work similar [22]. However, the plateau temperature resulting from was tha
