The General Motion of Conduction Electrons in a Uniform Magnetic Field, with Application to the Diamagnetism of Metals

Open access
Harper, P G·1955·Proceedings of the Physical Society. Section A

Abstract

Using translational properties of the Hamiltonian, a standard form is derived for the wave functions describing conduction electrons moving in a uniform magnetic field. This is used to obtain a solution of the Schrödinger equation in order to examine the magnetic energy levels. For non-overlapping bands the notion of effective mass is shown adequate (neglecting level broadening) but in an overlap region neighbouring bands interact strongly and distort the single band levels. A brief application to the diamagnetism of metals is considered.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
