BSk26 functionals

A lower estimation for this temperature is given by the crystallization temperature, which can be as high as ~7x10^9^K in the inner crust, potentially leading to sizeable differences with respect to the simplifying cold-catalyzed matter hypothesis.

We extend a recent work (Fatina et al., 2020, Cat. J/A+A/633/A149) on the outer crust, to the study of the crystallization of the inner crust and the associated composition in the one-component plasma approximation. The finite temperature variational equations for non-uniform matter in both the liquid and the solid phases are solved using a compressible liquid-drop approach with parameters optimized on four different microscopic models which cover the present uncertainties in nuclear modeling.
