Abstract

We evaluate the Hall coefficient characterising magnetotransport in an intercalated graphite CaC6_6 with the Fermi surface reconstructed by an uniaxial charge density wave from closed pockets to open sheets. As the typical order parameter, corresponding to the pseudo-gap in electronic spectrum and consequently to spacing between electron trajectories in reciprocal space, is of the order of 10210^2K, magnetic breakdown in strong experimentally achievable fields of the order of 10T is inevitable. The classical expressions for the components of the magnetoconductivity tensor are strongly modified by magnetic field-assisted over-gap tunneling causing quantum interference. Due to magnetic breakdown, all magnetoconductivity components undergo strong quantum oscillations reflected in the Hall coefficient. In their nature, these are different than standard Shubnikov de Haas oscillations which would not appear in a system with an open Fermi surface.
