Abstract: | The Fermi energy, density of average kinetic energy, and average density of kinetic energy of the transverse finite motion of an electron gas of a specified concentration are calculated taking into account Landau diamagnetism and Pauli paramagnetism. The kinetic energy of a longitudinal continuous electron motion along the direction of the external magnetic field H is estimated. It is shown that the kinetic energy of the longitudinal continuous motion vanishes with increase in the external magnetic field strength in the quantum limit where the maximum Landau quantum number N
m = 0. For N
m > 0, the longitudinal kinetic energy component of a degenerate electron gas somewhat increases with magnetic field strength. The cause of the erroneous result is discussed. |
