Abstract:
Quantum oscillations of the resistivity
$\rho_{22}$ and Hall coefficient
$R_{12.3}$ in the semiconductor alloy
$n$-Bi
$_{0.93}$Sb
$_{0.07}$ have been studied at
$H\parallel C_3$ and
$j\parallel C_1$ in magnetic fields to 14 T and at temperatures of 1.5, 4.5, 10, and 20 K. At temperatures of 1.5 and 4.5 K, beats of quantum oscillations of
$\rho_{22}$ and
$R_{12.3}$ due to a small deviation of the magnetic field
$H$ from the crystallographic
$C_3$ axis have been observed. To determine the oscillation period
$\Delta_i$, cyclotron mass
$m_{ci}$, cyclotron frequency
$\omega_{ci}$, and extreme section
$S_{\mathrm{extri}}$, experimentally measured quantum oscillation beats have been compared with the model beats of oscillations of three harmonic functions, two of which have close frequencies. The deviation of the parameters
$\Delta_i$,
$m_{ci}$, and
$S_{\mathrm{extri}}$ from the same parameters when the magnetic field
$H$ exactly coincides with the trigonal
$C_3$ axis has made it possible to estimate the magnetic field
$H$ deflection angle from the trigonal
$C_3$ axis, which is
$\sim$1
$^\circ$.
