Abstract
Synopsis Elastic shear strains cause a change in the shape of the Fermi surface of metals. The influence that such a change has upon the electrical conductivity and the thermo e.m.f. has been calculated for monovalent f.c.c. metals, and the results of it have been compared with the experimental values for Cu, Ag and Au. The conclusion can be drawn that the Fermi surface of gold touches the Brillouin zone boundary, whereas that of copper does not, whilst silver is an intermediate case. The theoretical results account also qualitatively for the experimental values of the trivalent Al.
