Non-Lifshitz-Kosevich field- and temperature-dependent amplitude of quantum oscillations in the quasi-two dimensional metal θ-(ET)₄ZnBr₄(C₆H₄Cl₂).

According to band structure calculations, the Fermi surface of the quasi-two dimensional metal θ-(ET)4ZnBr4(C6H4Cl2) illustrates the linear chain of coupled orbits model. Accordingly, de Haas-van Alphen oscillations spectra recorded in pulsed magnetic field of up to 55 T evidence many Fourier components, the frequency of which are linear combinations of the frequencies relevant to the closed α and the magnetic breakdown β orbits. The field and temperature dependence of their amplitude are quantitatively accounted for by analytic calculations including, beyond the Lifshitz-Kosevich formula, second-order terms in damping factors due to the oscillation of the chemical potential as the magnetic field varies.
