Abstract

Calculated cross sections of the aluminum Fermi surface relevant to the magnetoacoustic measurements of Kamm and Bohm are presented. The nature of the agreement between the calculated and measured dimensions of the surface is considered. On the basis of this and comparisons with other experimental data, it is concluded that the calculated surface, the features of which are similar to those of Harrison's nearly-free electron surface, is in quantitative accord with experiment. The only important unresolved question concerns the connectivity of the third band arms in the vicinity of the Brillouin zone corners.
