Splitting of Landau levels of a 2D electron due to electron-phonon interactions

We show that in a very strong magnetic field $B$ electron-phonon interaction gives rise to a splitting of Landau levels of a 2D electron into a series of infinitely degenerate sublevels. We provide both qualitative and quantitative description of this phenomenon. The cases of interaction with acoustic and polar optical phonons are considered. The energy distance between nearest sublevels in both cases tends to zero as $B^{-1/2}$ at large $B$.

Nonbackscattering Contribution to the Weak Localization

We show that the enhancement of backscattering responsible for the weak localization is accompanied by reduction of the scattering in other directions. A simple quasiclassical interpretation of this phenomenon is presented in terms of a small change in the effective differential cross-section for a single impurity. The reduction of the scattering at the arbitrary angles leads to the decrease of the quantum correction to the conductivity. Within the diffusion approximation this decrease is small, but it should be taken into account in the case of a relatively strong magnetic field when the diffusion approximation is not valid.
