Bianchi Type V Scalar Field Cosmological Models in f(R,T) Theory of Gravity

Abstract

This paper is devoted to investigation of anisotropic Bianchi type-V model in f(R,T) theory of gravity proposed by Harko et al. (Physics review D 84, 024020, 2011) with scalar field (quintessence or phantom). Here R is Ricci scalar and T is the trace of energy momentum tensor. The field equations have been solved using the fact that scalar expansion is proportional to the shear scalar of the space-time. Some physical properties of our model are also obtained and discussed.
