The Surface Impedance of Metals in a Weak Magnetic Field

  • Conference paper
Low Temperature Physics LT9

Abstract

The surface impedance of a metal single crystal at low temperature and microwave frequency exhibits rapid variations with magnetic field. The resistance derivative maxima and minima that we observe (Fig. 1) occur in a range of magnetic fields below those necessary for the observation of cyclotron resonance. In this weak magnetic field regime the electron mean free path is insufficient for the completion of cyclotron orbits. The low field effect has been observed in tin,1,2 aluminum, indium,2 cadmium,2 and tungsten,3 but on the other hand, is notably absent in copper,4 silver,5 sodium,6 and potassium.6
