Description
Summary:A theoretical study on galvanomagnetic, high-frequency and magnetoacoustic phenomena in layered conductors with quasi-2D electron energy spectrum of an arbitrary form is presented. It is shown that the specific character of the quasi-2D energy spectrum of charge carriers causes a series of peculiar effects. It is the orientation effect — the oscillation dependence of kinetic characteristics on the angle between a strong magnetic field and a normal to the layers, specific resonance effects and acoustic transparency of the layered conductors. In a wide range of magnetic fields Kapitza's law (the linear growth of the magnetoresistance with increasing value of strong magnetic field) is valid.
