Abstract
The band structure of aluminum is reconsidered in a combined experimental and theoretical approach very similar to that originally used by Heine. A more careful analysis of the de Haas-van Alphen data of Gunnersen has indicated a considerable flexibility in models consistent with it and has allowed the proposal of a Fermi surface which is much closer to that expected on theoretical grounds than the model suggested by Heine. It is found here that the first Brillouin zone is completely filled; that the second zone contains a single closed surface surrounding a region of holes; and that the third zone contains a multiply-connected surface which gives rise to all of the observed de Haas-van Alphen oscillations.
