Abstract

A study has been made of acoustic quantum oscillations in pure single crystals of white tin, using 50 MHz longitudinal ultrasound and magnetic fields of up to 6.7 T. The resulting oscillations have been analysed and interpreted in terms of the known Fermi surface of white tin, including magnetic breakdown effects. The results complement de Haas-van Alphen effect studies and include an observation interpreted as an oscillation in magnetic breakdown probability.
