We have explored Pauli paramagnetism, Landau diamagnetism and de Haas-van
Alphen effect in a single framework, and unified these three effects for all
temperatures as well as for all strengths of magnetic field. Our result goes
beyond Pauli-Landau result on the magnetism of the 3-D ideal gas of electrons,
and is able to describe crossover of the de Haas-van Alphen oscillation to the
saturation of magnetization. We also have obtained a novel asymptotic series
expansion for the low temperature properties of the system.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures; Accepted in Physics of Plasma
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
