Abstract
Following an extremely interesting idea \cite{R1}, published long ago, the work function associated with the emission of ultra-relativistic electrons from magnetically deformed metallic crystal of astrophysical relevance is obtained using relativistic version of Thomas-Fermi type model. In the present scenario, surprisingly, the work function becomes anisotropic; the longitudinal part is an increasing function of magnetic field strength, whereas the transverse part diverges.
