✦ Synopsis

The radiofrequency size effect (RESE) is investigated for two model "metals" having Fermi surfaces in the form of a cube and a corrugated sheet. In the parallel-field geometry, and with the Fermi surface oriented suitably with respect to the surfaces of the plate, the nonlocal conductivities reduce to a series of delta functions, thereby facilitating the calculation (in closed form) of the response of the plate to various modes of excitation. The calculations show explicitly the structure of the field "splash" within the plate as well as the structure of the fundamental and second RFSE resonances in the rf surface impedance and transmission coefficient. The effects of multiple revolutions and secondary excitation of trajectories are exhibited, and the electron mean free path dependence of the resonances is examined.
