Abstract

The charged Fermi gas with a small Lande-factor gg is expected to be diamagnetic, while that with a larger gg could be paramagnetic. We calculate the critical value of the gg-factor which separates the dia- and para-magnetic regions. In the weak-field limit, gcg_{c} has the same value both at high and low temperatures, gc=1/12g_{c}=1/\sqrt{12}. Nevertheless, gcg_{c} increases with the temperature reducing in finite magnetic fields. We also compare the gcg_{c} value of Fermi gases with those of Boltzmann and Bose gases, supposing the particle has three Zeeman levels σ=±1,0\sigma=\pm1, 0, and find that gcg_{c} of Bose and Fermi gases is larger and smaller than that of Boltzmann gases, respectively.
