Abstract: | The electron density of states of a semiconductor in magnetic field exhibits an oscillatory behaviour. The amplitude of these oscillations is studied theoretically as a function of the electron spin splitting. The amplitude is shown to be strongly reduced when the spin splitting is equal to the half of the orbital splitting ?ω, provided that the collision broadening of the electronic levels is large enough. This fact should be reflected in a similar reduction of the amplitude of various quantum oscillatory phenomena, e.g. Shubnikov-de Haas effect. |
