Abstract
The susceptibility of a two-dimensional (2D) electron gas is calculate d at weak magnetic fields by using an independent-electron model. It i s indicated that the behavior of the susceptibility is quire different from the bulk Landau susceptibility in the presence of a parabolic co nfinement potential. More interestingly, the susceptibility diverges i n the zero field limit. An experimental test of these theoretical pred ictions is also proposed.
