Analysis of the Shubnikov—de Haas Effect in Bismuth

Abstract
The Shubnikov—de Haas effect has been measured in single crystals of high-purity bismuth. Some of the observed oscillations have periods similar to those found by Lerner and attributed by him to heavy-holes and electrons. Some of these periods are shown to be the result of superposition of oscillations due to different parts of the Fermi surface of the two-carrier model of Smith, Baraff, and Rowell, and the others to be the result of frequency modulation due to oscillations in the Fermi energy.
