Abstract
In a finite temperature Thomas-Fermi theory with realistic nuclear int eractions, we construct caloric curves for finite nuclei enclosed in a sphere of about 4 to 8 times the normal nuclear volume. The specific heat capacity C-upsilon shows a peaked structure that is possibly indi cative of a liquid-gas phase transition in finite nuclear systems.
