Abstract
In the literature there is now much data available on the shapes of the Fermi surfaces of most of the metallic elements. It seems likely that the next few years will see the reduction of this data to parametric form; a start has already been made and the results published for a small number of metals. Parametrization schemes involving expansions in terms of appropriately symmetrized linear combinations of spherical harmonics or of plane waves are described. Tables of these symmetrized functions are already available in the literature. A plea is made for the standardization of procedure and of notation in future work on parametrizations of the Fermi surfaces of individual metals.Keywords
