ABSTRACT

Canuto et al. 1969

Canuto, V., H.-Y. Chiu, and L. Fassio-Canuto, 1969: Thermodynamic approach to the equation of state of a magnetized Fermi gas. Astrophys. Space Sci., 3, 258-267, doi:10.1007/BF00651031.

In this paper we have rederived the equations of state for a magnetized Fermi gas by generalizing the physical definition of the pressure. We have also given a simplified derivation of the energy eigenvalues of a free electron in a magnetic field, based on the use of simple harmonic oscillators. Physical interpretations of our results are presented. Possible astrophysical applications are also discussed.
