Other properties in which quantum oscillations are observed

Since many (if not most) material properties depend at some level on the density of states at the Fermi energy, many properties not listed here display quantum oscillations as well. This includes nearly all transport coefficients (including thermal conductivity), elastic properties (including sound velocity and lattice constant - can see with ultrasound and dilatometry), and other thermodynamic properties (including specific heat), and even the Knight shift. There's plenty of references for these other QO techniques, with one standard source being D. Shoenberg, "Magnetic Oscillations in Metals", Cambridge University Press (1984).

I broadened the article to mention resistivity and susceptibility in addition to just Hall conductivity (and changed the wording to emphasize that "Quantum oscillations" is really a series of related techniques exploiting the quantum oscillation phenomenon rather than one single technique), but these other methods should be mentioned as well. These first three are by far the most prevalent QO techniques, but the others should eventually be included. Lambda(T) (talk) 19:22, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
