Selected properties of the mixture of unbound nucleons and nuclei while approaching the transition to homogeneous matter for T = 0.23 MeV (left column) and 5.75 MeV (right column) and various proton fractions, as indicated in the legend. Considered are the relative difference between the baryonic free energy densities of inhomogeneous and homogeneous matter (bottom row), intrinsic volume of nuclei with A ≥ 2, V_cl, relative to the full volume, V, (middle row) and relative density of unbound nucleons (top row) as functions of density. For better readability, the quantities in the bottom panel are multiplied with arbitrary factors shown in the legend. The considered interaction is BBSk1.
