Abstract
The Ginzburg-Landau theory of phase transitions is modified and used to investigate the heat capacity, energy, entropy, and order parameter of the paired phases of , and . We use the Fermi gas model to calculate the thermodynamic properties of the normal phase of the nucleons. Our results show that the total heat capacities of the studied nuclei have an -shape behavior, which is in accordance with the semi-empirical data, and the order parameter does not approach zero at a specific critical temperature.
