Shubnikov‐de Haas oscillations in HgSe at 77 K in pulsed magnetic fields

Abstract
Results are given of measurements of the Shubnikov‐de Haas effect at 77 K in pulsed magnetic fields up to 32 T. HgSe single crystal samples are measured in the electron concentration range from 2.2 × 1017 to 2 × 1018 cm−3. To explain the experimental data the curvature of the lowest Luttinger level versus kz has to be taken into account. The change of the Fermi energy with magnetic field is also computed. The results show good agreement between experimental data and theory.
