Abstract: | A new scheme for analyzing the de Haas van Alphen (dHvA) effect in nearly two dimensional (2D) metals (i.e. with nearly cylindrical Fermi surface) is presented. The envelope of the magnetic susceptibility oscillations is calculated in the entire range of magnetic fields and temperatures. The resulting envelope function is found to be proportional to a universal function of the dimensionless parameter Q=hωc/k B T. The upper (i.e. paramagnetic) branch of the susceptibility envelope has a maximum at a certain Q = 5.45. This universal value may be useful for determining the effective cyclotron mass and the Fermi energy of nearly 2D metals. A simple relation between magnetization oscillations amplitude and calculated susceptibility amplitudes is derived. The corresponding limiting formulae for the magnetization oscillations envelope are found to match smoothly around the value X = 2π2/Q?2 of the Lifshitz-Kosevich (LK) smearing parameter. The influence of Fermi surface sheets with open orbits on magneto-quantum oscillations is considered. Triangle-like rather than saw-tooth-like oscillations at ultralow temperatures are obtained and substantially diminished magnetization and susceptibility amplitudes are calculated. This suggests the possibility of estimating the band structure parameters of Fermi surface sheets from magneto-quantum oscillations measurements. |
