Abstract
It is proposed that the change in crystal structure on alloying the noble metals with elements of the B sub-groups (e.g. copper-zinc) is due to the Fermi surface touching the cube faces of the Brilloum zone of the face-centered cubic structure rather than the octahedral faces which are already touched in the pure metals. A reasonable band structure for copper is consistant with this suggestion.Keywords
