Abstract

A review is presented of Fermi surface studies in pure materials, and of the lines along which the Fermi surfaces can be represented and understood. The application of the de Haas-van Alphen effect and the high-field magnetoresistance to experimental Fermi surface determinations is discussed and specimen requirements assessed. The representation by pseudopotentials of the band structures of metals without d bands is described and models which account for the band structures of d-band metals are presented, particularly with the aim of bringing out the features common to each metal of a class. Modern methods of parametrization for Fermi surfaces are discussed.
