Surface and volume properties of ground state nuclear matter in the Hartree-Fock and Puff-Martin approximations

"A general theory of many-particle systems was developed in terms of the n-particle field correlation or Green's functions. It is shown that, for zero temperature and pressure, this treatment may be extended to inhomogeneous systems by replacing the condition of spatial homogeneity on the Green's functions by appropriate asymptotic boundary conditions. Such conditions were derived for a semi-infinite volume of material with a single plane surface."@en
"This development was then applied to nuclear matter in the Hartree-Fock approximation. A solution for homogeneous matter was first obtained. A Gaussian interparticle potential was used, with depth and range fitted to low-energy scattering data."@en
"A method was derived for computing the ground state properties of a spatially inhomogeneous self-bound system of many particles. This method was used to compute the density and effective potential across a plane surface of nuclear matter in the Hartree-Fock approximation and in an approximation developed by R. D. Puff and P. C. Martin which takes into account certain two- body correlation effects."@en
