The thermal magnetoresistance, optical magnetoreflectance, and extremal properties of the energy loss spectrum connected with the cyclotron resonance effect are approached on a theoretical basis. The formalism, which applies the idea of two kinds of relaxation times active for the electron magnetotransport in a metal, gives – at least qualitatively – a satisfactory agreement with the observed data in all examined cases.
Key words: Electron Thermo-Magnetoresistance; Optical Reflection in the Magnetic Field; Energy Loss Spectrum in the Cyclotron Resonance Effect; Metals.
