Recent results that an assembly of Fermions below the Fermi temperature would exhibit anomalous semionic behaviour are examined in the context of associated magnetic fields.

Recently it was shown that  below the Fermi temperature Fermions exhibit an anomalous Bosonization: They obey statistics in between the Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein.   
In general given an assembly of $`N`$ Fermions, if $`N_+`$ is the average number of particles with spin up, the magnetisation is given by ,

$$m=\mu (2N_+N),$$
(1)   
where $`\mu `$ is the electron magnetic moment. In the usual theory, $`N_+\frac{N}{2}`$ so that $`m`$ given in (1) is small. However semionic statistics implies

$$N_+=\beta N,\frac{1}{2}<\beta <1,$$
(2)   
As N is generally very large, infact the number of particles is $`10^{23}`$ per cc or more, the use of inequality (2) in (1) can give appreciable values for $`m`$.   
In other words given such an assembly of Fermions, the introduction of, for example, an uniform magnetic field $`B`$ would lead to an energy creation $`mB`$, where initially the Fermion assemhbly had negligible magnetism.   
Moreover the semionic behaviour could result in magnetic reversals, if for example the external field $`B`$ changed its direction.   
The relevance of the above considerations is varied. It must be mentioned that in different conditions, the Fermi temperature of the assembly itself would have a very wide spectrum starting from small values. For example, in Neutron stars the Fermi temperature $`10^7K`$, while in the solid core of the earth it is $`10^4`$. In these cases $`N10^{58}`$ and $`10^{48}`$ respectively. Indeed in both these cases the prevalent magnetic field follows from (1) .   
Similarly the magnetism of the planet Jupiter can also be explained by (1).   
In the case of the earth there are magnetic reversals which are usually attributed to the liquid core activity of the earth, though there is no convincing explanation. Interestingly the Mars Global Surveyor space craft detected such magnetic reversals on Mars also, in the last week of April, 1999. Mars has no liquid core and tectonic activity so that, in conventional theory, this would point to a much earlier epoch of such possible activity. However this is not required in the scenario presented above.
