Abstract
The relativistic Thomas-Fermi equation for positive atomic ions in an extremely strong magnetic field is set up. The resulting equation is solved by numerical integration. Comparison is made with earlier non-relativistic results over a range of magnetic fields, atomic numbers and degrees of ionisation. This comparison reveals that relativistic corrections increase in importance as the strength of the magnetic field increases.
