Cyclotron resonance is a phenomenon that occurs when charged particles, such as electrons or ions, oscillate in a magnetic field at a specific frequency, known as the cyclotron frequency. This frequency is determined by the charge of the particle, its mass, and the strength of the magnetic field. In a magnetic field, charged particles experience a Lorentz force, which causes them to move in spiral or circular paths rather than in straight lines.
