Neutron conduction in the inner crust of a neutron star in the framework of the band theory of solids

N Chamel - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2012 - APS
Even though the “free” neutrons in the inner crust of a neutron star are superfluid, they are
still strongly coupled to nuclei due to nondissipative entrainment effects. These effects have …
