Magnetized hot neutron matter: lowest order constrained variational calculations

Abstract

We have studied the spin polarized hot neutron matter in the presence of strong magnetic field. In this work, using the lowest order constrained variational method at finite temperature and employing $A{V}_{18}$ nuclear potential, some thermodynamic properties of spin polarized neutron matter such as spin polarization parameter, free energy, equation of state and effective mass have been calculated. It has been shown that the strong magnetic field breaks the symmetry of the free energy, leading to a magnetized equilibrium state. We have found that the equation of state becomes stiffer by increasing both magnetic field and temperature. The magnetic field dependence of effective mass for the spin-up and spin-down neutrons has been investigated.
