We investigate an influence of an external magnetic field on chiral symmetrybreaking in a four-fermion interaction model at finite temperature and chemicalpotential. By using the Fock-Schwinger proper-time method, we calculate theeffective potential for the four-fermion interaction model at the leading orderof the $1/N_c$ expansion. A phase structure of the chiral symmetry breaking isshown on $T$-$\mu$, $H$-$T$ and $\mu$-$H$ planes. The external magnetic fieldmodifies the phase structure. It is found that a new phase appears for a largechemical potential.Comment: 16 pages, 10 figure
