Abstract

In this paper, we theoretically analyze the effects of the Fermi surface (FS) shape on the magnetic oscillations in quantizing magnetic fields in quasi-two-dimensional layered conductors. The theory is developed based on a phenomenological model for the electron energy spectra introduced in the paper. The model enables various Fermi surface profiles to be taken into consideration; this gives it an advantage over the commonly used tight-binding approximation. It is shown that, when the FS curvature becomes zero at an effective cross-section with maximum/minimum cross-sectional area, this can significantly affect the amplitude, shape, and phase of the oscillations, as well as the field dependence of the amplitude.
