Abstract
Extremal cross-section areas, cyclotron effective masses, and cyclotron-orbit g factors (${g}_{c}$) have been calculated for three noble metals (copper, silver, and gold) using the relativistic linear muffin-tin orbital (LMTO) method with a Hamiltonian which includes an applied magnetic field. The calculations are compared with experimental results from de Haas--van Alphen measurements performed by other authors. The overall resemblance between theory and experiment shows that the major source of the deviation from the free-electron g value in the noble metals can be explained by spin-orbit interaction. The large difference between calculated and experimentally determined ${g}_{c}$ factors found for the neck orbit in gold is discussed.
