The spin flip in the theory of magnetic breakdown: magnetoresistance

Abstract

The theory of magnetic breakdown in metals taking into account the existence of spin and spin-orbit interaction of conduction electrons is developed. The galvanomagnetic properties of a magnetic breakdown linked-orbit network with one- and two-dimensional topology are calculated for the case of a coherent motion of conduction electrons on the small orbits of network. The double-peak structure of magnetic breakdown oscillations for Zn is explained. © 1991.
