On arXiv: Beating-free quantum oscillations with strong spin-orbit and Zeeman interactions

Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations are the fingerprint of the Landau and Zeeman splitting level structure on the resistivity, serving as a paradigmatic experimental probe. So far, no analytical description could be found for the vast…
