Volume derivatives of extremal cross sections of the Fermi surface of palladium are determined by means of de Haas-van Alphen measurements under pressures up to 3,7 kbar. The expérimental pressure derivatives are found to be in good agreement with theoretical values obrained from a self-consistent band structure calculation based on the linear-muffin-tin orbitals (LMTO) method using the local density approximation for exchange and corrélation
