Abstract—A theoretical analysis is made of the resonant absorption of RF electromagnetic wave energy in lay-
ered conductors having a quasi-two-dimensional electron energy spectrum. An analysis is made of the influence
of possible drift of carriers into the conductor and their Fermi-liquid interaction on the position of the cyclotron
resonance lines. A reason is given for the substantial difference between the cyclotron effective masses deter-
mined from the temperature dependence of the amplitude of the Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations and from mea-
surements of the cyclotron resonance frequencies in [5–7]. It is shown that by means of an experimental inves-
tigation of cyclotron resonance in a magnetic field parallel to the layers, it is possible to find the carrier velocity
distribution at the Fermi surface in layered organic conductors. © 2000 MAIK “Nauka/Interperiodica”.
