Impact of Finite Volume on Thermodynamic Properties of Quark Matter Within Polyakov Quark Meson Model

We have explored the thermodynamics and phase structure of the Polyakov loop-extended three-flavored quark-meson model at varying temperature and quark chemical potential values. We have investigated the effect of finite volume on the QCD phase diagram. The PQM model has been modified by the inclusion of vector fields along with the introduction of asymmetry by inducing isospin chemical potential. The phase boundary is found to shift towards the higher value of temperature and quark chemical with decreasing system size. The circumstantial study of such effects will have an important implication in studying the QCD phase diagram.
