Abstract
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.
