Density of states of a two-dimensional electron gas in a non-quantizing magnetic field

Abstract

We study local density of electron states of a two-dimentional conductor with a smooth disorder potential in a non-quantizing magnetic field, which does not cause the standart de Haas-van Alphen oscillations. It is found, that despite the influence of such ``classical'' magnetic field on the average electron density of states (DOS) is negligibly small, it does produce a significant effect on the DOS correlations. The corresponding correlation function exhibits oscillations with the characteristic period of cyclotron quantum $\hbar\omega_c$.
