Abstract

The effect of quantization of the electron energy in a magnetic field on the collisionless damping of radio-frequency modes in aluminum has been investigated theoretically. In the geometry where a propagation vector k and a constant magnetic field H are directed along the C 4 axis in aluminum there is a magnetic Landau damping caused by electrons whose orbits are inclined to the transverse plane. Despite a relatively low concentration of electrons, this damping can significantly affect the damping of a helicon and a doppleron. It has been shown that the quantization of the electron energy leads to giant oscillations of the damping of these modes.
