Abstract
The hypothesis that the change in the c/a ratio in magnesium solid solutions is due to the changes in the Fermi energy, arising from the distortion of the Brillouin zone, is developed into a more general and quantitative theory. The case of monovalent solutes is considered, and agreement with experiment is shown to be not unsatisfactory. The experimental results enable deductions to be made regarding the density of electronic states in pure magnesium.Keywords
