Abstract
The splitting of conduction electrons into Landau levels leads to quantum acoustic plasma modes because each level behaves as a separate species. The dispersion relation for these modes is derived and plotted in the long-wavelength approximation for high magnetic fields. Effects of Landau damping and electron scattering by impurities are estimated for semiconductors such as InSb.Keywords
