Ferromagnetic phase diagram of neutron matter

J.P.W. Diener🇿🇦 · F.G. Scholtz🇿🇦

Abstract

The magnetic properties of matter under extreme conditions are of particular importance to understanding the neutron star interior. One contributing factor to the magnetic field of a neutron star could be the ferromagnetic phase of nuclear matter. In this letter we present a self-consistent, relativistic description of ferromagnetism in dense matter, within which the ferromagnetic phase diagram for neutron matter is calculated.
