Abstract

Absolute amplitudes of the neck oscillations in the de Haas-van Alphen effect of silver, gold, and copper have been measured for various orientations around 〈111〉 infields up to 100 kG by means of a new kind of torque magnetometer. These amplitudes are found to agree with the predictions of the Lifshitz-Kosevich theory within an uncertainty of order 20% for silver, 5% for gold, and 10% for copper. This confirms theoretical expectation that “many-body” modifications to the Lifshitz-Kosevich theory should not be appreciable in our experimental conditions.
