Question

In the absence of defect broadening, estimate the highest temperature at which SdH oscillations would be observable in the sample described above with B ? 4T. Conversely, in the absence of thermal fluctuations, estimate the highest defect scattering rate that would allow measurement of SdH oscillations at this value of the field. Express your answer in terms of allowed values for $\tau_f$, the mean time between scattering events for electrons.

Step 1

SdH oscillations occur when the Landau level spacing, given by ΔE = ℏω_c, is larger than the broadening of the Landau levels due to defects. The Landau level spacing is given by ℏω_c = eB/m*, where e is the electron charge, B is the magnetic field, and m* is the Show more…

Conversely, in the absence of thermal fluctuations, estimate the highest defect scattering rate that would allow measurement of SdH oscillations at this value of the field. Express your answer in terms of allowed values for tf, the mean time between scattering events for electrons.
