| In this and a following note we present an essentially exact expression for the the steady and oscillatory (de Haas-van Alphen) free energy of a (noninteracting) spin-split (g=2) two dimensional electron gas subject to a weak periodic potential and a normal uniform magnetic field. The sole restriction is to oscillations corresponding to electron orbits entailing at most one Bragg reflection from a reciprocal lattice line.
