A theoretical study of the magnetically deformed inner crust matter of magnetars

We have studied various physical properties of magnetically deformed atoms and the associated matter, replacing the atoms by the deformed Wigner-Seitz (WS) cells at the crustal region of strongly magnetized neutron stars (magnetars). A relativistic version of the Thomas-Fermi (TF) model in the presence of a strong magnetic field in cylindrical coordinates is used to study the properties of such matter.
