Magnetoresistance of the metallic compounds Cu2Sb and YZn to 220 kG

Journal of Low Temperature Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Topological properties of the Fermi surfaces of Cu2Sb and YZn have been investigated. Cu2Sb is a compensated metal with open orbits in [001], 〈100〉, 〈011〉, and several higher-order directions. The results are consistent with the nearly-free-electron Fermi surface model. In YZn the data indicate that there is an open sheet of Fermi surface which supports open orbits in 〈110〉 and/or 〈100〉 directions. This conclusion, along with de Haas-van Alphen results of Jan, provides evidence for the topological accuracy of one of two recent augmented-plane-wave, band-structure calculations; the two calculations predict quite different Fermi surfaces.
