A study of the low-field de Haas-van Alphen effect in zinc, employing automatic recording variation torque as a function reciprocal applied magnetic field, has revealed six sets periods. These periods are assigned consistent manner to portions free-electron (single orthogonalized planewave) model Fermi surface. Cyclotron masses associated with three larger observed found agree well theoretical estimates. Evidence is obtained for presence spin-orbit energy gap across hexagonal face first...

Detailed studies of the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect in Ag single crystals have been carried out with a high-sensitivity torque magnetometer steady fields up to 40 kG. The angular variations all pertinent dHvA frequencies were determined better than 0.1%. We able achieve this precision by observing oscillations as magnetic field was rotated respect samples at fixed field. More data obtained on new low-frequency which we recently reported, and evidence is presented suggests that these may...

The de Haas-van Alphen effect in rhenium has been studied by a null-deflection torsion balance technique magnetic fields up to 40 kG. It is shown that set of ellipsoids and dumbbell-like Fermi surface segments located on the $A\ensuremath{-}L$ symmetry line reduced Brillouin zone can account for most observed data. oscillations associated with breakdown phenomena provide evidence support above model.

Abstract The orientations in gallium arsenide grown epitaxially on germanium by hydrogen chloride transport have been studied using glancing angle electron diffraction. Development of twin depends upon the temperature during deposition and markedly orientation substrate. Decrease favours formation orientations, some which arise successive twinning about more than one 〈111〉 axis. Still lower temperatures give rise to fibre textures sometimes wurtzite phase GaAs. required for elimination...

Traditionally, the Coulomb repulsion or Peierls instability causes metal-insulator phase transitions in strongly correlated quantum materials. In comparison, magnetic stress is predicted to drive transition materials exhibiting strong spin-lattice coupling. However, this mechanism lacks experimental validation and an in-depth understanding. Here we demonstrate existence of stress-driven archetypal material, chromium nitride. Structural, magnetic, electronic transport characterization,...

These data suggest that Fermi surface consists at least a closed segment situated point $\ensuremath{\Gamma}$ in center Brillouin zone set six segments located along $〈100〉$ axes $X$.

Null-deflection torque-magnetometer measurements performed on well-annealed low-$\ensuremath{\kappa}$ type-II superconducting films in nearly parallel magnetic fields suggest that flux entry may be delayed to a field ${H}_{s}$ which can greater than ${H}_{c}$.
