Condensed Surfaces of Magnetic Neutron Stars, Thermal Surface Emission, and Particle Acceleration Above Pulsar Polar Caps
Zach Medin, Dong Lai
For sufficiently strong magnetic fields and/or low temperatures, the neutron star surface may be in a condensed state with little gas or plasma above it. Such surface condensation…
Radiative transitions of the helium atom in highly magnetized neutron star atmospheres
Zach Medin, Dong Lai, Alexander Y. Potekhin
Recent observations of thermally emitting isolated neutron stars revealed spectral features that could be interpreted as radiative transitions of He in a magnetized neutron star at…
Cohesive property of magnetized neutron star surfaces: Computations and implications
Zach Medin, Dong Lai
The cohesive energy of condensed matter in strong magnetic fields is a fundamental quantity characterizing magnetized neutron star surfaces. The cohesive energy refers to the energ…
Density-Functional-Theory Calculations of Matter in Strong Magnetic Fields: II. Infinite Chains and Condensed Matter
Zach Medin, Dong Lai
We present new, ab initio calculations of the electronic structure of one-dimensional infinite chains and three-dimensional condensed matter in strong magnetic fields ranging from…
Density-Functional-Theory Calculations of Matter in Strong Magnetic Fields: I. Atoms and Molecules
Zach Medin, Dong Lai
We present new ab initio calculations of the electronic structure of various atoms and molecules in strong magnetic fields ranging from B=10^12 G to 2x10^15 G, appropriate for radi…
