| 英文摘要 | In this paper, we investigate the electron Landau level stability and its influence on the electron Fermi energy, E-F(e), in the circumstance of magnetars, which are powered by magnetic field energy. In a magnetar, the Landau levels of degenerate and relativistic electrons are strongly quantized. A new quantity g(n), the electron Landau level stability coefficient is introduced. According to the requirement that g(n) decreases with increasing the magnetic field intensity B, the magnetic field index beta in the expression of E-F(e) must be positive. By introducing the Dirac-delta function, we deduce a general formulae for the Fermi energy of degenerate and relativistic electrons, and obtain a particular solution to E-F(e) in a superhigh magnetic field (SMF). This solution has a low magnetic field index of beta = 1/6, compared with the previous one, and works when rho >= 10(7) g cm(-3) and B-cr << B <= 10(17) Gauss. By modifying the phase space of relativistic electrons, a SMF can enhance the electron number density n(e), and decrease the maximum of electron Landau level number, which results in a redistribution of electrons. According to Pauli exclusion principle, the degenerate electrons will fill quantum states from the lowest Landau level to the highest Landau level. As B increases, more and more electrons will occupy higher Landau levels, though g(n) decreases with the Landau level number n. The enhanced n(e) in a SMF means an increase in the electron Fermi energy and an increase in the electron degeneracy pressure. The results are expected to facilitate the study ofthe weak-interaction processes inside neutron stars and the magnetic-thermal evolution mechanism for magnetars. |
