Figure 10: Proton number Z of the nuclear clusters vs. the mass density ρ in the ground state of the inner crust, calculated by different semi-classical models: Buchler & Barkat [61], Ogasawara & Sato [308], Oyamatsu [314], Sumiyoshi et al. [400], Goriely et al. [171]. For comparison the results of the quantum calculations of Negele & Vautherin [303] (diamonds) are also shown.
