| Abstract: | We consider a free electron gas in the presence of a uniform magnetic field and confined by a cylindrically symmetric harmonic potential in the directions normal to the field. The density matrix in Boltzmann statistics is evaluated exactly and it is shown that the electron gas rotates uniformly under the influence of the field. The corresponding Wigner distribution function is also studied. |
