Magnetized strange quark matter in a mass-density-dependent model
Abstract
We investigate the properties of strange quark matter in a strong magnetic field with quark confinement by the density dependence of quark mass considering the total baryon number conservation, charge neutrality and chemical equilibrium. The strength of the magnetic field considered in this article is $10^{16} \sim 10^{20}$ G. It is found that an additional term should appear in the pressure expression to maintain thermodynamic consistency. At fixed density, the energy density of magnetized strange quark matter varies with the magnetic field strength. The exists a minimum with increasing the field strength, depending on the density. It is about $6\times10^{19}$ Gauss at two times the normal nuclear saturation density.
