Effect of electronic band dispersion curvature on de Haas-van Alphen oscillations

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2015-09-30 v1

Abstract

The effect of electronic band curvature, i.e. the deviation from parabolicity of electronic dispersion, on de Haas-van Alphen oscillations spectra is studied. Although the oscillations amplitude remain unaffected, it is demonstrated that non-quadratic terms of the Landau bands dispersion, which is particularly relevant in the case of Dirac fermions, induces a field- and temperature-dependent Onsager phase. As a result, a temperature-dependent shift of the de Haas-van Alphen oscillations frequency is predicted.
