Abstract

Within the framework of MIT bag model, properties of hot strange quark matter at zero pressure are investigated. It is shown that the self-boundness property of strange quark matter has a temperature dependent character. With increasing temperature, the strange quark matter which is self-bound at zero temperature, starting with a certain critical temperature becomes not self-bound.
