Oscillation phenomena and experimental determination of exact mathematical stability zones for magneto-conductivity in metals having complicated Fermi surfaces

Аннотация

We consider the problem of exact experimental determination of the boundaries of Stability Zones for magneto-conductivity in normal metals in the space of directions of magnetic field B. As can be shown, this problem turns out to be nontrivial since the exact boundaries of Stability Zones are in fact unobservable in direct measurements of conductivity. However, this problem can be effectively solved with the aid of the study of oscillation phenomena (cyclotron resonance, quantum oscillations) in normal metals, which reveal a singular behavior on the mathematical boundary of a Stability Zone.
