In strong magnetic field near pulsar's surface, the quantum effect for electrons is quite complicated. The classical approximation may lose resonance feature, which gives much smaller cross-section.

In this paper, we performed numerical integrations to get the total cross-section and the power spectrum of single electron. Thus considering the resonance, the inverse Compton scattering could be an efficient mechanism in strong magnetic fields. We have carefully calculated the power spectrum of single electron travelling through the isotropic thermal fields.
