7. In the metallic crystal, a magnetic field quantizes the charge carrier motion in a plane perpendicular to the applied magnetic field. Accordingly, the energy levels of electrons and holes are quantized into discrete Landau levels, whose separation increases proportionally to the applied magnetic field. This effect leads to oscillations in many properties including magnetization (dHvA effect), resistance (the Shubnikov-de Haas effect), specific heat, thermoelectric power, etc. When the Fermi surface is anisotropic, the magnetization will also have nonisotropic components that give rise to a magnetic torque (M × H) term.

13. D is the so-called Dingle temperature. For constant field (or for the average field over a small field interval), a fit of the expression vs temperature yields the Dingle temperature as a parameter of the fit.
14. 2e/h, and a plot of the rotational data in terms of F vs angle yields information about the three-dimensional (3D) Fermi surface topology, as shown in Figure 2.
