Abstract
The oscillating part of the longitudinal conductivity of layered crystals is considered within the quasi-classical approximation, where both the electric field and quantizing magnetic field are perpendicular to the layers. Our approach differs from the conventional one by taking into account both the nonparabolicity of a narrow conduction miniband and the dependence of the Fermi surface size in the direction of the magnetic field on charge-carrier concentration. This approach makes it possible to consider not only the standard case, with open Fermi surfaces, but also the case of closed Fermi surfaces. It is shown that, for closed Fermi surfaces, the existence of frequencies that do not correspond to extreme cross sections of the Fermi surfaces cut by planes normal to the magnetic field can serve as a criterion for the narrowness of the conduction miniband, which determines the translational motion of charge carriers across the layers.
