Abstract

The effect of a strong magnetic field on the thermal nucleation of quark droplets at the core of a neutron star is investigated. The surface energy of the quark phase diverges logarithmically and as a consequence there cannot be any thermal nucleation of the quark droplet. The effect of a strong magnetic field on the curvature term is also studied. The curvature term also diverges.
