Fermi-liquid theory of the surface impedance of a metal in a normal magnetic field
In this paper we present detailed theoretical analysis of the frequency
and/or magnetic field dependence of the surface impedance of a metal at the
anomalous skin effect. We calculate the surface impedance in the presence of a
magnetic field directed along the normal to the metal surface. The effects of
the Fermi-liquid interactions on the surface impedance are studied. It is shown
that the cyclotron resonance in a normal magnetic field may be revealed {\it
only and exclusively} in such metals whose Fermi surfaces include segments
where its Gaussian curvature turns zero. The results could be applied to
extract extra informations concerning local anomalies in the Fermi surface
curvature in conventional and quasi-two-dimensional metals.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure, text added and rearranged, computational details

Acoustic Cyclotron Resonance and Giant High Frequency Magnetoacoustic Oscillations in Metals with Locally Flattened Fermi Surface
We consider the effect of local flattening on the Fermi surface (FS) of a
metal upon geometric oscillations of the velocity and attenuation of ultrasonic
waves in the neighborhood of the acoustic cyclotron resonance. It is shown that
such peculiarities of the local geometry of the FS can lead to a significant
enhancement of both cyclotron resonance and geometric oscillations.
Characteristic features of the coupling of ultrasound to shortwave cyclotron
waves arising due to the local flattening of the FS are analyzed.
