De Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) oscillations in the two dimensional organic
conductor alpha-(BEDT-TTF)(2)KHg(SCN)(4) have been measured by a canti
lever technique at high magnetic fields up to 30 T. The wave shape of
the dHvA oscillations undergoes a drastic change around the transition
field B-K(similar to 24 T). The effective mass shifts 1.5 m(0) in the
density wave phase (B < B-K) to 1.65 m(0) in the normal metallic phas
e (B > B-K). Based on the simulation, we have determined that the prim
ary cause of the characteristic field dependence of the wave shape is
the change in the effective mass. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science
