Abstract: Using the framework of the grand canonical ensemble the effects of a two (or three) dimensional confinement (harmonic) potential on the magnetic properties of an ideal electron gas are investigated. The high temperature results for the magnetic moment obtained by Felderhof and Raval are generalized to take into account the spin. At low temperature the confinement potential introduces a new oscillatory phenomena besides a modification or even a destruction of the de Haas-van Alphen effect. The changes in Landau diamagnetism are also analysed.
