Statistic properties of Fermi gas in a strong magnetic field

Based on the thermodynamic potential function of Fermi gas in a strong magnetic field, using the thermodynamics method, the integrated analytical expressions of thermodynamic quantities of the system at low temperatures are derived, and the effects of the magnetic field on the statistic properties of the system are analysed. It is shown that, as long as the temperature is not zero, the effects of the magnetic field on the thermodynamic quantities of the system contain both oscillatory and non-oscillatory parts. For the non-oscillatory part, compared with the situation of Fermi gas in a weak magnetic field, the influence of the magnetic field on the thermodynamic quantities is not exactly the same. For the oscillatory part, the period and amplitude of the oscillation are all related to the magnetic field. Due to the oscillation, the chemical potential may be greater than Ferim energy of the system, but the oscillation does not affect the thermodynamic stability of the system.

Influence of strong magnetic field on β decay in the crusts of neutron stars

β decay in the strong magnetic field of the crusts of neutron stars is analysed by an improved method. The reactions ^67Ni（β-）^67Cu and ^62Mn（β-）^62Fe are investigated as examples. The results show that a weak magnetic field has little effect on β decay but a strong magnetic field （B 〉 10^12G） increases β decay rates obviously. The conclusion derived may be crucial to the research of late evolution of neutron stars and nucleosynthesis in r-process.

Effect of strong magnetic field on chemical potential and electron capture in magnetar

The chemical potential of electrons in a strong magnetic field is investigated. It is shown that the magnetic field has only a slight effect on electron chemical potential when B 〈 10^11 T, but electron chemical potential will decrease greatly when B 〉 10^11 T. The effects of a strong magnetic field on electron capture rates for ^60Fe are discussed, and the result shows that the electron capture sharply decreases because of the strong magnetic field.

High accuracy calculation of the hydrogen negative ion in strong magnetic fields

Using a full configuration-interaction method with Hylleraas-Gaussian basis function, this paper investigates the 1^10^＋, 1^1（-1）^＋ and 1^1（-2）6＋ states of the hydrogen negative ion in strong magnetic fields. The total energies, electron detachment energies and derivatives of the total energy with respect to the magnetic field are presented as functions of magnetic field over a wide range of field strengths. Compared with the available theoretical data, the accuracy for the energies is enhanced significantly. The field regimes 3 〈 γ 〈 4 and 0.02 〈 γ 〈 0.05, in which the 1^1（-1）6＋ and 1^1（-2）^＋ states start to become bound, respectively, are also determined based on the calculated electron detachment energies.

Effect of superstrong magnetic fields on thermonuclear reaction rates on the surface of magnetars

A simple and efficient screening model for studying the effects of superstrong magnetic fields （such as those of magnetars） on thermonuclear reaction rates on magnetar surfaces is proposed in this paper. The most interesting thermonuclear reactions, including hydrogen burning by the CNO cycle and helium burning by the triple alpha reaction, are investigated on the surface ofmagnetars. We find that the superstrong magnetic fields can increase the thermonuclear reaction rates by many orders of magnitude. The enhancement may have a dramatic effect on the thermonuclear runaways and bursts on the surfaces of magnetars.

Effect of strong magnetic field on electron capture of iron group nuclei in crusts of neutron stars

In this paper electron capture on iron group nuclei in crusts of neutron stars in a strong magnetic field is investigated. The results show that the magnetic fields have only a slight effect on electron capture rates in a range of 10^5 - 10^13g on surfaces of most neutron stars, whereas for some magnetars the magnetic fields range from 10^13 to 10^18 G. The electron capture rates of most iron group nuclei are greatly decreased, reduced by even four orders of magnitude due to the strong magnetic field.

Charge transfer of He^(2+)with H in a strong magnetic field

By solving a time-dependent Schrodinger equation（TDSE）, we studied the electron capture process in the He^2＋＋ H collision system under a strong magnetic field in a wide projectile energy range. The strong enhancement of the total charge transfer cross section is observed for the projectile energy below 2.0 ke V/u. With the projectile energy increasing, the cross sections will reduce a little and then increase again, compared with those in the field-free case. The cross sections to the states with different magnetic quantum numbers are presented and analyzed where the influence due to Zeeman splitting is obviously found, especially in the low projectile energy region. The comparison with other models is made and the tendency of the cross section varying with the projectile energy is found closer to that from other close coupling models.

Novel quantum phenomena induced by strong magnetic fields in heavy-ion collisions

The relativistic heavy-ion collisions create both hot quark–gluon matter and strong magnetic fields, and provide an arena to study the interplay between quantum chromodynamics and quantum electrodynamics. In recent years, it has been shown that such an interplay can generate a number of interesting quantum phenomena in hadronic and quark–gluon matter. In this short review, we first discuss some properties of the magnetic fields in heavy-ion collisions and then give an overview of the magnetic fieldinduced novel quantum effects. In particular, we focus on the magnetic effect on the heavy flavor mesons, the heavyquark transports, and the phenomena closely related to chiral anomaly.

The mass limit of white dwarfs with strong magnetic fields in general relativity

Recently, U. Das and B. Mukhopadhyay proposed that the Chandrasekhar limit of a white dwarf could reach a new high level （2.58M） if a superstrong magnetic field were considered （Das U and Mukhopadhyay B 2013 Phys. Rev. Lett. 110 071102）, where the structure of the strongly magnetized white dwarf （SMWD） is calculated in the framework of Newtonian theory （NT）. As the SMWD has a far smaller size, in contrast with the usual expectation, we found that there is an obvious general relativistic effect （GRE） in the SMWD. For example, for the SMWD with a one Landau level system, the super-Chandrasekhar mass limit in general relativity （GR） is approximately 16.5% lower than that in NT. More interestingly, the maximal mass of the white dwarf will be first increased when the magnetic field strength keeps on increasing and reaches the maximal value M = 2.48MQ with BD = 391.5. Then if we further increase the magnetic fields, surprisingly, the maximal mass of the white dwarf will decrease when one takes the GRE into account.

Realignment of Slanted Fe Nanorods on Silicon Substrates by a Strong Magnetic Field

Slanted Fe nanorods prepared by glancing angle deposition on silicon substrates exhibited easy magnetization along their growth axis. By using a thin gold film on a silicon substrate as a buffer layer, slanted Fe nanorods can be realigned towards the substrate surface normal by a strong magnetic field. After realignment, the Fe nanorods retained the easy magnetization axis along their growth axis. The effects of the realignment by the strong magnetic field on the properties of the slanted Fe nanorods were also investigated. This study provides a possible way to fabricate magnetic nanostructures for perpendicular recording applications.

Effect of strong magnetic field on isothermal transformation of degenerate pearlite in an Fe-C-Mo alloy

The pearlite transformation in a Mo-containing iron alloy was investigated under 12 T magnetic field. The pearlite transformation was accelerated owing to the application of a strong magnetic field. Pearlite was of degenerated morphology without the presence of a strong magnetic field; but the degeneracy of pearlite is reduced when a strong magnetic field was applied, which may be attributed to the effect of strong magnetic field on faster carbon diffusion and less molybdenum segregation caused by a strong magnetic

Solidification of Hyper-Monotectic Zinc-Bismuth Alloy in a Strong Magnetic Field

In order to obtain homogenous Zn-Bi hyper-monotectic alloys and investigate what mechanism the magnetic field functions,we carried out the solidification experiments of Zn-4wt%Bi,5wt%Bi,6wt%Bi,7wt%Bi, 15wt%Bi and 30wt%Bi alloys under a 18T static magnetic field which was set up in LNCMI.Water quenching was also chosen to further damp the segregation caused by Stokes convection and Marangoni movement.The results indicated that when the content of Bismuth is 5-7wt%,the superimposition of 18Tesla magnetic field can damp the segregation remarkably,and the size of the second phase particles also is decreased.Furthermore,to Zn-4wt%Bi alloy solidified in 18T magnetic field,no spherical bismuth particles are found even magnifying 1000 times by microscope, which hints that the 18T magnetic field may change its solidifying character.To Zn-15wt%Bi and Zn-30wt%Bi alloy, due to their strong segregation trend,the 18T magnetic field still cannot damp the Stokes settlement thoroughly even by quenching way,however,no layered bismuth and zinc appears when compared to 0T,large Bismuth block are formed in the lower half part of the sample.

Columnar-to-Equiaxed Transition During Directional Solidification Under Strong Magnetic Field

Effects of strong magnetic fields on the columnar-to-equiaxed transition(CET) have been investigated experimentally.Experimental results show that the application of a strong magnetic field causes a dendrite fragmentation and then the CET.The thermoelectric magnetic force acting on cells/dendrites and equiaxed grains in the mushy zone has been studied numerically.Numerical results reveal that a torque is created on cells/dendrites and equiaxed grains and the value of the thermoelectric magnetic force increases as the magnetic field intensity increase.This torque breaks cells/dendrites and drives the rotation of equiaxed grains.As a consequence,the CET will occur during directional solidification under a strong magnetic field.This may initiate a new method to induce the CET via an applied strong magnetic field during directional solidification.

The role of Debye mass in the chiral crossover in a strong magnetic field

In this paper,the Debye mass of quarks is investigated in the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model at zero and nonzero chemical potentials.In a uniform plasma,the Debye mass usually behaves as a monotonous increasing function of the temperature,the chemical potential and the magnetic field.At the fixed coupling interaction G,we find that the magnetic catalysis(MC)on the occurrence of the chiral restoration could be revealed by the susceptibility of the Debye mass dmD/dT at low chemical potential and by the quantity TdmD/dT in the region of moderate densities.However,the inverse MC is realized under a thermomagnetic coupling constant G(B,T)by the behavior of the Debye mass at both zero and nonzero chemical potentials.
