The theory of Prigogine and Balescu has been applied to a homogeneous single-species plasma in a static uniform magnetic field. A kinetic equation has been obtained for the one-particle velocity distribution, which is assumed initially isotropic in directions perpendicular to the field. The only stationary solutions of the kinetic equation are the Maxwellian equilibrium distributions, and an H theorem has been established. The neglect of "collisions" of the order of duration of one cyclotron period or less (a strong magnetic-field approximation) modifies the kinetic equation so that it no longer predicts any relaxation of the velocity components parallel to the magnetic field. The assumptions and approximations of the theory are stated, and are discussed in some detail.

In a vacuum tube, two identical and parallel Ag-O-Cs surfaces, with a work function of approximately 0.8eV, ceaselessly emit thermal electrons at room temperature. The thermal electrons are so controlled by a static uniform magnetic field that they can fly only from one Ag-O-Cs surface to the other, resulting in a potential difference and an electric current, and transferring a power to a resistance outside the tube. The ambient air is a single heat reservoir in the experiment, and all the heat extracted by the tube from the air is converted into electric energy without producing any other effect. The authors maintain that the experiment is in contradiction to the Kelvin statement of the second law of thermodynamics.

AbstractOnsager's result concerning the quantization of the magnetic flux enclosed by the orbit of an electron moving in a static uniform magnetic field is shown to hold also in the relativistic case, and not to be restricted to the regime considered by Onsager in which the correspondence principle can be applied. The results obtained via the correspondence principle and via expectation values differ, however, in the deails. It is shown also that the eigenenergies and eigenfunctions of Dirac's relativistic equation for an electron in a static non-uniform and arbitrarily strong magnetic field may be obtained directly from the solutions of Schrödinger's non-relativistic equation. In this case the expectation value of an observable depending on coordinates only equals the one calculated directly with the non-relativistic eigenfunctions.
