Zusammenfassung:The neutrino-dominated disk is regarded as a plausible model for the central engine of Gamma-Ray Bursts. By taking into account magnetic fields and detailed microphysics, we calculate the structure of neutrino-dominated disks in the frame of the well-known Paczy nski-Witta potential. The results show that the temperature of the disk is lower than that without magnetic fields, whereas the density is nearly the same as that without magnetic fields. There also exists a significant difference in the electron degeneracy between the above two cases. In addition, we present the variation of the electron fraction with the radius.
