Effect of magnetic breakdown on nonllnear wave damping in metals
Slutskin A.A.
Nonlinear absorption of sound and helicons is calculated in the presence of magnetic breakdown, which consists of interband tunnel transitions of the conduction electrons in a strong magnetic field. It is shown that magnetic breakdown greatly extends the amplitude and wave-vector interval in which nonlinear effects are essential in wave damping. So strong an influence of magnetic breakdown is attributed to the singular random structure of the magnetic-breakdown spectrum.
