Abstract

Oscillatory magnetostriction and de Haas-van Alphen measurements have been made in aluminum, indium, zinc, and magnesium between 1.3 and 4.2K and in magnetic fields up to 22 kOe. From these results we determined the stress dependence of several orbits on the third band Fermi surfaces of aluminum and indium and some orbits on the Fermi surfaces of zinc and magnesium. The experimental values are in agreement with the results of simple OPW (orthogonalized plane wave) calculations in which the stress dependence of the pseudopotential is obtained from the Heine-Abarenkov-Animalu form factor in a local screening approximation. We observed angular constancy in the stress dependence of the orbits, and a model is presented to account for this. We also discuss the possibility of stress-induced Lifshitz transitions, and show how the free-electron model should be used to predict changes in the Fermi surface under hydrostatic pressure and uniaxial stress.
