Low-Field de Haas-van Alphen Effect in Copper

Abstract
The de Haas-van Alphen effect has been observed in a copper single crystal by means of a null-deflection torsion balance technique. Detailed measurements have been carried out which provide an accurate determination of the topology of the Fermi surface necks in copper. Effective mass values are found to be in excellent agreement with cyclotron resonance results. Unusual behavior observed in the angular dependence of the amplitude of the oscillatory torque is attributed to the spin-splitting factor in the theoretical expression for the magnetization.
