A detailed study of the Counter-Rotating Model (CRM) for generic finite static axially symmetric thin disks with nonzero radial pressure is presented. We find a general constraint over the counter-rotating tangential velocities needed to cast the surface energy-momentum tensor of the disk as the superposition of two counter-rotating perfect fluids. We also found expressions for the energy density and pressure of the counter-rotating fluids. Then we shown that, in general, there is not possible to take the two counter-rotating fluids as circulating along geodesics neither take the two counter-rotating tangential velocities as equal and opposite. An specific example is studied where we obtain some CRM with well defined counter-rotating tangential velocities and stable against radial perturbations. The CRM obtained are in agree with the strong energy condition, but there are regions of the disks with negative energy density, in violation of the weak energy condition.
Using the well-known ``displace, cut and reflect'' method we construct thin
disks made of a perfect fluid in presence of a magnetic field. The models are
based in a magnetic Reissner-Nordstrom metric of Einstein-Maxwell equations for
a conformastatic spacetime. The influence of the magnetic field on the matter
properties of the disk are analyzed. We also study the motion of charged test
particles around the disks. We construct models of perfect fluid disks
satisfying all the energy conditions.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figures. Accepted for publication in Gen. Rel. Grav. arXiv
