Resonant Angular Oscillation of Magnetoresistance in Synthetic Layered Metal: Stage 2 SbCl5-Intercalated Graphite

We have observed a new angular oscillatory magnetotransport phenomenon in the out-of-plane resistivity of stage 2 SbCl 5 -intercalated graphite. The phenomenon is similar in many respects to the one recently found in organic conductors, which is attributed to a semiclassical geometrical resonance effect inherent in a weakly corrugated cylindrical Fermi surface. Some deviations from the “standard” behavior are found.
