Summary: | We have investigated in frame of the quantum transport theory the magnetic quantum oscillations of the longitudinal magnetoresistance $\rho_{zz}$ in quasi two-dimensional metals for a magnetic field perpendicular to the layers. Giant Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations are found when the cyclotron energy $\hbar \omega_{c}$ is much larger than the interlayer transfer integral $t$ (the two-dimensional limit). In large magnetic fields and at low temperatures, the minima of the magnetoconductivity $\sigma_{zz}=\rho_{zz}^{-1}$ exhibit a thermally activated behavior in presence of negligibly small chemical potential oscillations, as observed in the organic layered conductor $\beta''\mathrm{-(BEDT-TTF)}_{2}\mathrm{SF}_{5}\mathrm{CH}_{2}\mathrm{CF}_{2}\m athrm{SO}_{3}$. The questions concerning the absence of strong chemical potential oscillations in such compound and the impurity self-energy are discussed. |
