Abstract

An attempt is made to study the doping dependence of the dia- and paramagnetic susceptibilities of the electrons in semiconductor superlattices under strong magnetic quantization, taking Ga1-xAlxAs-AIAs superlattice as an example. It is found, that the values of both the susceptibilities are higher than their bulk values of GaAs and for relatively higher carrier degeneracy, they approximately obey the Landau relation.
