de Haas-van Alphen effect, LMTO bandstructure and Fermi surface of β'-AgMg

Abstract

The de Haas-van Alphen effect has been measured in the ordered alloy beta '-AgMg. The relativistic LMTO bandstructure has been calculated, and predicts a Fermi surface in good agreement with experiment. Both bandstructure and Fermi surface are similar to those of other beta brasses with the same number of conduction electrons per unit cell.
