Abstract

Some properties of polarized neutron matter at finite temperature have been studied using the lowest order constrained variational (LOCV) method with the Argonne V18 (AV18) potential. Our results indicate that a spontaneous transition to the ferromagnetic phase does not occur. Effective mass, free energy, magnetic susceptibility, entropy, and the equation of state of polarized neutron matter at finite temperature are also calculated. A comparison is also made between our results and those of other many-body techniques.
