This work is concerned with determination of the thermal and magnetic behavior of the Group VI Dichalcogenides in a quantizing magnetic field. Our discussion includes analysis of the Grand Potential, Helmholtz Free Energy, partition functions (grand and ordinary) and the entropy and specific heat: their dependencies on temperature and magnetic field strength are carefully examined, particularly in the degenerate regime and the approach to zero temperature. The joint dependence on magnetic field and temperature is also determined for the Dichalcogenide magnetic moment in the degenerate statistical regime, replete with de Haas–van Alphen (dHvA) oscillatory phenomenology and also above the zero–temperature limit.
