Fermi Surface of Lead at Normal and High Pressure

Abstract
The pressure dependence of the Fermi surface of lead has been studied by means of NMR-calibrated de Haas-van Alphen-effect measurements. In order to carry out these investigations, the values of Fermi-surface areas, obtained from pulsed-magnetic-field measurements, have been redetermined to correct for a calibration error. Attempts to fit the measurements with a local model potential were not completely successful, but a nonlocal calculation based on the Heine-Abarenkov model potential gave satisfactory agreement with the experimental results.
