Abstract
The propagation of helicon waves through white tin has been studied at low temperatures and related to topological properties of the Fermi surface. The large-amplitude quantum oscillations observed at 1.2°K as the field was varied arise from magnetic breakdown. They provide a sensitive means of investigating some features of the Fermi surface. Comparisons are made with the results of a recent band-structure calculation by Weisz.Keywords
