In most cases many details of the oscillation spectrum of magnitoabsorption (WMD) of semiconductors are still not interpreted as do not fit the conventional concept of "diamagnetic excitones", formed under conditions of applicability of the Eliot – Loudon criterion β ≥1. Analyzing the fan diagrams we have revealed that the oscillatory structure arises when the highest excited states cross the appropriate levels of the continuum. Value of the reduced magnetic field β*, at which the states of diamagnetic exciton for each individual excited state n 0=2,3,4… are formed, can be estimated from the equation: β * 2∆ nd– β *(ℓ *+½) –1/n 20=0. Assuming that ℓ * = n 0 – 2 and ∆ nd = ½ n 20 , for the hydrogen atom, the equation can be rewritten as β * = 2( n 0 – 3/2) n 0–4(1+√1+4 n 02( n 0 – 3/2) –2 ). Combining the experimentally observed energies of the excited states with the theoretical ones the dissociation energies or the energies of transitions between the Landau subbands can be fixed, though they are invisible during the experiment. Then, using, for example, the Pidgeon and Brown equations, we can determine the system of band parameters including both the C-and V-bands.
