SURFACE CORRECTION TO LANDAU DIAMAGNETISM Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • For a semi-infinite free-electron model with a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the surface, we show that ds=-ps3, where ds and ps are, respectively, the surface corrections to the Landau diamagnetism and the Pauli paramagnetism. The total surface contribution to the susceptibility is s=(23)(B22)A[(kF)-4], where (kF) is the phase shift for kz=kF. Since =4 and (kF)>, the surface contributions to the magnetic susceptibility and electronic heat capacity are positive. 1975 The American Physical Society.
