Properties of electrons in strong magnetic field

ORAL

Abstract

We study the properties of electrons in stars which are one of the major source of magnetic field in stars. The behavior of electrons in strong magnetic field is very different from their behavior in free medium. Its basic properties such as its mass and charge are modified in the extreme conditions. These calculations are especially relevant for a system like neutron star where the magnetic field is even stronger than its rest mass in the direction of Lorentz force that is perpendicular to the magnetic field and the direction of linear motion. The impact of these modifications on the behavior of electron in large magnetic field is also discussed.
