Phys. Rev. B 77, 012402 (2008) [4 pages]Effect of magnetic breakdown on angle-dependent magnetoresistance in a quasi-two-dimensional metal: An analytically solvable modelReceived 17 September 2007; revised 26 October 2007; published 8 January 2008 We have developed an analytical model of angle-dependent magnetoresistance oscillations (AMROs) in a quasi-two-dimensional metal in which magnetic breakdown occurs. The model takes account of all the contributions from quasiparticles undergoing both magnetic breakdown and Bragg reflection at each junction and allows extremely efficient simulation of data which can be compared with recent experimental results on the organic metal κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2. AMROs resulting from both closed and open orbits emerge naturally at low field, and the model enables the transition to breakdown-AMROs with increasing field to be described in detail. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
