Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 3617–3620 (1999)Application of Information Theory in Nuclear Liquid Gas Phase TransitionReceived 28 May 1999; published in the issue dated 1 November 1999 Information entropy and Zpif's law in the field of information theory have been used for studying the disassembly of nuclei in the framework of the isospin dependent lattice gas model and the molecular dynamical model. We found that the information entropy in the event space is maximum at the phase transition point and the mass of the cluster shows exactly inversely to its rank, i.e., Zpif's law appears. Both novel criteria are useful in searching the nuclear liquid gas phase transition experimentally and theoretically. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
