Magnetoresistance of organic conductors in the vicinity of a topological phase transition

Аннотация

We analyze the effect of magnetic breakdown on the resistance of layered organic conductors with a multisheet Fermi surface consisting of a cylinder and two slightly corrugated planes along the projection of the momentum onto the normal to the layers. Analytic expressions are derived for the charge carrier distribution function, and the dependences of the interlayer and intralayer conductivities on the magnitude and orientation of the external magnetic field in the immediate vicinity of a topological phase transition are determined when the distance between the different sheets of the Fermi surface is quite small, but the topological structure of the Fermi surface is still intact.
