A semiclassical approach to the magnetotransport in quasi-1D electron systems

The issue of the magnetotransport in any quasi one-dimensional (quasi-1D) electron system has not hoarded so much attention as the magnetotransport in two-dimensional (2D) system. At most, at the beginning of the realization of those systems, some experimental studies and phenomenological models were developed. However, it is an interesting subject that can throw light on the physical mechanisms determining the transport properties of low-dimensional electron systems. In our previous paper, Hidalgo (Eur Phys J Plus 137:1–-14, 2022), we described in detail a semiclassical global approach to the quantum Hall and Shubnikov-de Haas phenomena in a 2D system for both, the integer and fractional quantum Hall effects (IQHE and FQHE), and not only in semiconductors quantum wells but also in graphene. Here, we focus on the magnetotransport in a quasi-1D electron system following also a semiclassical approach, i.e., taking into consideration the Landau-type density of states for such system and its implication in the conductivity.
