Abstract

A formalism recently developed by the author is used to simplify Kohn's derivation of an effective Hamiltonian. The new derivation is valid for arbitrary symmetry and with the inclusion of spin-orbit effects and for bands with degeneracies. The actual form is obtained to second order in the magnetic field. It is explicitly shown that the procedure is asymptotically convergent. This Hamiltonian is then used to obtain the susceptibility in a convenient form. The nature of the actual energy levels is discussed with particular attention to the broadening, gaps in the continuous region, and magnetic breakdown.

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.
