Both models are fairly suited to describe the degrees of freedomin the hadronic phase. The partonic ones are only accessible by the second model. It is found that the QCD matter has paramagnetic properties, which monotonically depend on the temperature and are not affected by the hadron-quark phase transition. Furthermore, raising the magnetic field strength increases the thermodynamic quantities, especially in the hadronic phase, but reduces the critical temperature, that is, inverse magnetic catalysis.enUniversity of THERMAL-PROPERTIESPHASE-DIAGRAMLATTICE QCDMODELQUARKSArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1155/2016/1381479
