Analytical formulae for de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) oscillations in linear
chain of coupled two-dimensional (2D) orbits (Pippard's model) are derived
systematically taking into account the chemical potential oscillations in
magnetic field. Although corrective terms are observed, basic (alpha) and
magnetic breakdown-induced (beta and 2beta - alpha) orbits can be accounted for
by the Lifshits-Kosevich (LK) and Falicov-Stachowiak semiclassical models in
the explored field and temperature ranges. In contrast, the 'forbidden orbit'
beta - alpha amplitude is described by a non-LK equation involving a product of
two classical orbit amplitudes. Furthermore, strongly non-monotonic field and
temperature dependence may be observed for the second harmonics of basic
frequencies such as 2alpha and the magnetic breakdown orbit beta + alpha,
depending on the value of the spin damping factors. These features are in
agreement with the dHvA oscillation spectra of the strongly 2D organic metal
theta- theta-(ET)(4)CoBr(4)(C(6)H(4)Cl(2)).
