Abstract
Measurement of the de Haas-van Alphen effect at 1.1 K in the linear-chain mercury compound shows that the Fermi surface consists of a set of straight or nearly straight cylinders with axes along the direction. The cylinders are formed from one-dimensional Fermi-surface sheets by the interaction of mutually perpendicular mercury chains and by translation by superlattice vectors resulting from the periodicity of the incommensurate mercury chains.
