Question:

Open orbits an open orbit in monovalent tetragonal metal connects opposite faces of the boundary of a Brillouin zone. The faces are separated by G = 2 x 10cm1. A magnetic field B = 103 gauss = 10-1 tesla is normal to the plane of the open orbit. 

(a) What is the order of magnitude of the period of the motion in k space? Take c ≈ 108 cm/sec. 

(b) Describe in real space the motion of an electron on this orbit in the presence of flue magnetic field.
