Parameters characterizing the electron motion performed in the cyclotron resonance effect, especially the electron gyration frequency, are calculated as functions of the angle with which the direction of a constant magnetic field is tilted with respect to the direction of one of the crystallographic axes. Tightly bound s electrons forming bands of states in simple cubic and body‐centered cubic lattices have been chosen for the calculations as examples for the electron and crystal. In each lattice case an equation for the electron motion performed along a closed anisotropic surface of constant energy has been derived and solved on the basis of a semi‐classical theory.
