The harmonic expansion analytical formulas for the angular dependence of Fermi-surface cross-section area in external magnetic field are obtained for various typical crystal symmetries. The simple azimuth-angle dependence of the Yamaji angles is derived for the elliptic in-plane Fermi surface. These formulas correct some previous results and allow the simple and effective interpretation of the magnetic quantum oscillations data in cuprate high-temperature superconducting materials, in organic metals and other Q2D metals. The relation between the angular dependence of magnetoresistance and of Fermi-surface cross-section area is derived. The applicability region of all results obtained and of some previous widely used analytical results is investigated using the numerical calculations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-03-02T12:11:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "angular dependence", "fermi-surface shape", "quasi-2d metals", "fermi-surface cross-section area", "magnetoresistance" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1003.0568G" } } }
