Abstract
The propagator for a harmonically bound charged particle in a constant uniform magnetic field is evaluated exactly from which the corresponding partition function and density of states are obtained. Then, the equilibrium response of an assembly of harmonically bound point charges is studied using both Boltzmann and Fermi-Dirac statistics. The results are considered in relation to the ionic lattice and to some extent to the charged nucleons.Keywords
