Effects of strong magnetic fields on neutron $^{3}P_{2}$ superfluidity with spin-orbit interactions

Abstract: We discuss neutron $^{3}P_{2}$ phases in the core of neutron stars in strong magnetic field (magnetars). The neutron $^{3}P_{2}$ pairing provides a wide variety of condensates, such as the uniaxial nematic and (D${2}$ and D${4}$) biaxial nematic, with different symmetries stemming from the combinations of spin and momentum. Based on the spin-orbital angular momentum coupling and the spin-magnetic field coupling of the neutrons, we derive the Ginzburg-Landau equation containing higher order terms of the magnetic field. We investigate the phase diagram of the neutron $^{3}P_{2}$ superfluidity, and find that the D$_{2}$ biaxial nematic phase is extended by the higher order terms of the magnetic field. We also discuss the thermodynamic properties, the heat capacity and the spin susceptibility.
