Abstract
Surface quantum states in quasi-two dimensional organic conductors induced by an external magnetic field tilted in the plane of the layers are obtained and analyzed. In tilted magnetic fields, these states arise from the transitions of the electrons between the closed orbits on the sides of the Fermi surface determined by the electron momentum along the magnetic field direction p
B
and the coordinate of the center of electron revolution Z. By far, in organic conductors, the surface states have not been studied for tilted magnetic fields. In this work, we have performed detail analyses of the surface states in a tilted in-plane magnetic field by calculating the surface energy spectrum and surface wave functions in order to address their properties and features. We find that, in a tilted magnetic field, the surface levels have higher energies compared to those at zero tilt angle but can be observed only up to a certain tilt angle. The resonant magnetic field and angular values at which the peaks in the surface oscillations should be observed are obtained. Further theoretical and new experimental studies of the surface states in a tilted magnetic field might give new insights into the surface properties of quasi-two dimensional organic conductors. Additionally, they may reveal new information about the parameters of the Fermi surface of organic conductors necessary for its reconstruction.
