Scattering line polarization and the Hanle effect are among the most important mechanisms for diagnostics of the solar and stellar atmospheres. The fact that real stellar atmospheres are horizontally inhomogeneous makes the spectral…
We consider a planar system of fermions, at finite temperature and density, under a static magnetic field parallel to the two-dimensional plane. This magnetic field generates a Zeeman effect and, then, a spin polarization of the system. The…
