Abstract

Measurements of the conduction-electron Zeeman splitting in palladium are presented. With the use of the de Haas---van Alphen effect the anisotropy of the orbit-averaged $g$ factor has been mapped out in some detail for the ${\ensuremath{\Gamma}}_{6}$ sheet and the $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ orbit. A pronounced anisotropy was found for the ${\ensuremath{\Gamma}}_{6}$ sheet. Detailed studies of the spin-splitting zeros have revealed new contours and an angular dependence different from that previously reported.
