Description

Based on the theory of relativity in superstrong magnetic fields (SMFs), we have carried out an estimation on electron capture (EC) rates of nuclides 52,53,54,55,56Fe in the SMFs in magnetars. The rates of change of electronic fraction (RCEF) in the EC process are also discussed. The results show that the EC rates increase greatly and even exceeds by 4 orders of magnitude (e.g. 54Fe, 55Fe and 56Fe) in SMF. On the contrary, the RCEF decreases largely and even exceeds by 5 orders of magnitude in the SMF. (authors)
