Modeling on the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility and electrical conductivity oscillations in narrow-gap semiconductors

Abstract

Electrical conductivity oscillations, magnetic susceptibility oscillations and electronic heat capacity oscillations for narrow-gap electronic semiconductors are considered at different temperatures. A theory is constructed of the temperature dependence of quantum oscillation phenomena in narrow-gap electronic semiconductors, taking into account the thermal smearing of Landau levels. Oscillations of longitudinal electrical conductivity in narrow-gap electronic semiconductors at various temperatures are studied. An integral expression is obtained for the longitudinal conductivity in narrow-gap electronic semiconductors, taking into account the diffuse broadening of the Landau levels. A formula is obtained for the dependence of the oscillations of longitudinal electrical conductivity on the bandgap of narrow-gap semiconductors. The theory is compared with the experimental results of [Formula: see text]. A theory is constructed of the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility oscillations for narrow-gap electronic semiconductors. Using these oscillations of magnetic susceptibility, the cyclotron effective masses of electrons are determined. The calculation results are compared with experimental data. The proposed model explains the experimental results in [Formula: see text] at different temperatures.
