Abstract
The magnetic field dependence of the ultrasonic attenuation has been measured in very pure tin single crystals. Oscillations were found that can be explained as a result of resonant conditions between the electron orbit diameter and the periodic field set up by the sound wave. These oscillations yield information about the Fermi-momentum, and the general features of a possible electron distribution in tin are suggested.Keywords
