Cover Story: A variational method with explicit energy functionals has previously been proposed to calculate the energy per nucleon of uniform nuclear matter, based on realistic nuclear forces. In this study, we aimed to extend this variational method to symmetric nuclear matter at zero temperature by using the Argonne v8’ two-body nuclear potential, which comprises the central, tensor, and spin-orbit components. Furthermore, this variational method for pure neutron matter with the Argonne v8’ potential at zero temperature was extended to finite temperatures by employing the variational method by Schmidt and Pandharipande. The obtained free energy per neutron of pure neutron matter was shown to be reasonable, and the self-consistency of the thermodynamic quantities was demonstrated. View this paper
