Abstract

The effective mass of a quasiparticle at the Fermi surface is given by

m^{*} = m (1 + A_{1})

, where

A_{1}

is a Fourier coefficient of the Landau Fermi-liquid interaction function. Three different methods of evaluating the Landau interaction function are investigated and compared with experiment.
