The dependence of the QO frequencies on energy is key to understanding their temperature dependence. a, FFT amplitude of equation (11) over an extended B-field range at T = 0. As well as equation (11), leading contributions up to the fourth order in the Dingle factor are included, which can be evaluated systematically. Experimental values for \({m}_{\lambda }^{* }\) and TD,λ ≈ 0.5 K were used consistent with CoSi, as well as fα(E), fβ(E) from the DFT calculations. b, Cut along E = EF for CoSi. This may be compared with the spectrum recorded experimentally. Peaks shown in panels a and b seem broad because of the log scale. c, Band structure of the effective kp Hamiltonian around the R point equation (12) used to model a possible mechanism for nonlinear interband scattering. d, Schematic FSs in the effective kp Hamiltonian (projection on the kz = 0 plane with respect to R) in which the spin is polarized perpendicular to the FS and orientated in opposing directions on the two bands. This is consistent with results obtained in DFT calculations36.
