Abstract
The Fermi energy, cyclotron energy and cyclotron effective mass ofdegenerate electron gas in a size-quantized semiconductor thin filmwith non-parabolic energy bands are studied. The influences ofquantizing magnetic field on these quantities in two-band approximationof the Kane model are investigated. It is shown that the Fermi energyoscillates in a magnetic field. The period and positions of theseoscillations are found as a function of film thickness andconcentration of electrons. Cyclotron energy and cyclotron effectivemass are investigated as a function of film thickness in detail. Theresults obtained here are compared with experimental data on GaAsquantum wells.
