The temperature-dependent Hartree-Fock approach is extended to the relativistic quantum-field-theory framework; exchange of {sigma}, {omega}, {rho}, and {pi} mesons and photons are included. Application is made to two spherical nuclei, {sup 16}O and {sup 40}Ca. Temperature dependences of excitation energies, single-particle spectra, charge densities, and entropies are evaluated and compared to corresponding nonrelativistic calculations. We find a considerably larger thermal response for these nuclei when compared to the nonrelativistic results.
