Abstract

We have investigated the influence of a strong magnetic field on various aspects of a quantum Fermi plasma. Due to the strong magnetic field, the distribution function becomes anisotropic. First, we consider non-degenerate quantum, Landau and Kelly distribution function. It was found that the adiabatic equation is similar to the adiabatic equation for a Maxwell distribution function, when we include the magnetic field in the energy expression. Using the Kelly distribution for a degenerate, quantum Fermi gas, parallel and perpendicular components of the pressure were derived. It was found that perpendicular component of pressure never becomes zero and three-dimensional system always stay three-dimensional. Lastly, we investigated electron emission from metals and have shown the influence of the magnetic field. We calculated thermionic emission, the so-called Richardson effect. In addition, we investigate the influence of external electromagnetic radiation on the electron current density (Hallwachs effect) from metals.
