Abstract

The effect of a uniform magnetic field on the conduction band of metal is investigated, using as model the tight-binding approximation for a simple cubic crystal. The normally discrete magnetic levels pertaining to free electrons are shown to be non-uniformly spaced and broadened as a result of the lattice forces.
