Magnetic Oscillations in Metals

Klappentext This book gives a systematic account of the nature of the oscillations in field dependence after it was discovered in the magnetic behaviour of bismuth at low temperatures. Zusammenfassung It is just over 80 years ago that a striking oscillatory field dependence was discovered in the magnetic behaviour of bismuth at low temperatures. This book was first published in 1984 and gives a systematic account of the nature of the oscillations! of the experimental techniques for their study and of their connection with the electronic structure of the metal concerned.
