Inversion asymmetry effect on quantum oscillations in 3D crystals with Cnv symmetry

Abstract

The peculiarities of quantum oscillations in bulk semiconductors with C nv symmetry caused by the lack of their symmetry centre are considered. A quasi-qubic model is used for finding the magnetic levels. The algorithm for numerical calculating the levels in the presence of the tilted magnetic field is suggested. Numerical estimations are performed for Сd 3 As 2 and Cd 3-x Zn x As 2. It is shown that the most suitable conditions for observing the beating effect in these compounds are the high values of the electron concentrations and small angles between the direction of the magnetic field and crystal symmetry axis.
