Slow oscillations of in-plane magnetoresistance in strongly anisotropic quasi-two-dimensional rare-earth tritellurides

Abstract

Slow oscillations of the in-plane magnetoresistance are observed in the rare-earth tritellurides and proposed as an effective tool to determine the parameters of electronic structure in various strongly anisotropic quasi-two-dimensional compounds. These oscillations do not originate from the small Fermi surface pockets, as revealed usually by the Shubnikov-de-Haas oscillations, but from the entanglement of close frequencies due to a finite interlayer transfer integral $t_z$, which allows to estimate its value. For TbTe${}_3$ and GdTe${}_3$ we obtain the estimate $t_z\approx 1$ meV.
