Spontaneous Magnetization in Maxwell QED$_{2+1}$

High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-02-03 v2 Condensed Matter

Abstract

Spontaneous magnetization in the Maxwell QED2+1_{2+1} at finite fermion density is studied. It is shown that at low fermion densities the one-loop free energy has its minimum at some nonvanishing value of the magnetic field. The magnetization is due to the asymmetry of the fermion spectrum of the massive QED2+1_{2+1} in an external magnetic field.
