Abstract Based on the analytical expression of relativistic free energy for a weakly interacting Fermi gas in a weak magnetic field, by using the method of quantum statistics, the stability conditions of the system at both high and low temperatures are given, and the effects of magnetic field and interparticle interactions on the stability of the system are analysed. It is shown that at high temperatures, the stability conditions of the system are completely the same, no matter whether it is the ultrarelativistic case or nonrelativistic case. At extremely low temperatures, the mechanical stability conditions of the system show a similar rule through a comparison between the ultrarelativistic case and nonrelativistic case. At the same time, thermal stability of a relativistic Bose gas in a weak magnetic field is discussed, and the influence of the effect of relativity on the thermal stability of the system is investigated.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
