Description

In this work we present the results of theoretical analysis of the de Haas-van Alphen oscillations in quasi-two-dimensional conductors. We have been studying the effect of the Fermi-liquid correlations of charge carriers on the above oscillations. It was shown that at reasonably low temperatures and weak electron scattering the Fermi-liquid interactions may cause noticeable changes in both amplitude and shape of the oscillations even at realistically small values of the Fermi-liquid parameters. Also, we show that the Fermi-liquid interactions in the system of the charge carriers may cause magnetic instability of a quasi-two-dimensional conductor near the peaks of quantum oscillations in the electron density of states at the Fermi surface, indicating the possibility for the diamagnetic phase transition within the relevant ranges of the applied magnetic fields
