Abstract
In huge magnetic fields ($B\ensuremath{\gtrsim}{10}^{12}$ G) matter forms a tightly bound, dense ($\ensuremath{\gtrsim}{10}^{4}$ g ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$) solid with properties of a one-dimensional metal and a work function of the order of a keV. Electron field emission from the sharp surface of a pulsar is much easier than ion emission; it is estimated to be cut off when the stellar rotation period exceeds several seconds.
