Quantum field theory treatment of magnetic effects on a system of free electrons

C. Verzegnassi, R. Germano, P. Kurian

The effects of a magnetic field on the energy and on the spin of free electrons are computed in the framework of quantum field theory. In the case of a constant moderate field and…
