Quantum oscillations (QOs) of conductance in the magnetic field are widely observed in mesoscopic devices thanks to the Landau quantization, and thus QOs are commonly used as a powerful tool to measure the Fermi surface of metals. In contrast, QOs are usually absent for insulators due to the zero density of state in the gap.
