Experimental determination of the dilational strain dependence of the Fermi surface of white tin
Keyword(s):
The derivatives with respect to uniaxial elongational strain of the areas of representative orbits on all sheets of the Fermi surface of tetragonal white tin have been deduced from simultaneous measurements of the Landau quantum oscillations in elastic moduli and in torque. Strain derivatives have been determined for most known extremal cross-sectional areas normal to the [100], [110], and [001] symmetry axes; the anisotropy of the strain derivatives of several area branches, having normal directions in the (010) and (001) planes, has also been studied. Uniaxial and hydrostatic stress derivatives deduced from the strain derivatives have been found to be generally consistent with values obtained by other means.
