Abstract

We construct the grand partition function of the system of chiral fermions in a uniform magnetic field from Landau levels, through which all thermodynamic quantities can be obtained. Taking use of Abel-Plana formula, these thermodynamic quantities can be expanded as series with respect to a dimensionless variable b=2eB/T2b=2eB/T^{2}. We find that the series expansions of energy density, pressure, magnetization intensity and magnetic susceptibility contain a singular term with lnb2\ln b^{2}, while particle number density, entropy density and heat capacity are power series of b2b^{2}. The asymptotic behaviors of these thermodynamic quantities in extreme conditions are also discussed.
