In the Kondo insulator samarium hexaboride (SmB6), strong correlation and band hybridization lead to an insulating gap and a diverging resistance at low temperature. The resistance divergence ends at about 3 kelvin, a behavior that may arise from surface conductance. We used torque magnetometry to resolve the Fermi surface topology in this material. The observed oscillation patterns reveal two Fermi surfaces on the (100) surface plane and one Fermi surface on the (101) surface plane. The measured Fermi surface cross sections scale as the inverse cosine function of the magnetic field tilt angles, which demonstrates the two-dimensional nature of the conducting electronic states of SmB6.

We report detailed angle dependent studies of the metallic state microwave (40 to 200 GHz) magneto-conductivity of single crystal samples of the α- (BEDT-TTF) 2 KHg(SCN) 4 organic charge density wave conductor, and the perovskite superconductor Sr 2 RuO 4. We observe series' of resonant absorptions which we attribute to periodic orbit resonances - a phenomenon closely related to cyclotron resonance. By performing measurements on several samples, and in different electromagnetic field configurations, we are able to couple to different orbital modes (+ harmonics), which derive from deformations (warpings) of the quasi-one and quasi-two-dimensional Fermi surfaces of these compounds. These studies provide vital information concerning interlayer dispersion which, in turn, affects the Fermi surface nesting characteristics which are believed to play a crucial role in the low temperature physics of these exotic materials.

A computer program has been written in Fortran IV to calculate the areas of Fermi surface cross sections using the empty lattice model often referred to as the one-OPW model. The program employs the Harrison (1960) construction and will work for any structure with any Fermi radius. For hexagonal structures both the single and double zone schemes may be employed. Any plane may be selected by the user. This plane may be rotated a specified number of times about two axes and also shifted along one of the axes in order to search for extremal orbits along this axis. In applying the program to complicated Fermi surfaces a qualitative sketch of the surface may be necessary for the correct interpretation of the computer output. A copy of the deck of cards comprising the program may be obtained from the Depository of Unpublished Data.
