Abstract: In the current work we examine the possibility of ferromagnetism phase of quark matter by using the one gluon exchange interaction and the thermodynamics with the density–temperature-dependent particle masses as well as the normal thermodynamics (with constant masses). We calculate the free energy per particle of the polarized and unpolarized states to discuss the difference between these two phases at various densities and temperatures. In our calculations we assume that the QCD coupling, αc, is constant (the simple model) or varies with the temperature and the density (the asymptotic freedom); but we keep αc less than one, because we intend to use the perturbation method to calculate the exchange energy. We also assume that the up and down quarks are massless and do not interact. Only the strange quarks interact with each other via the one gluon exchange interaction. The free and internal energies as well as the effective masses and the pressure are calculated at different densities and temperatures. The results are discussed and a comparison is made with those of Tatsumi. Finally it is shown that the present models do not predict any transition for the strange quark matter to its ferromagnetic phase.
