Positron annihilation in InPb alloy single crystals

  • 1. Queen's Univ., Kingston, ON (Canada)

Description

Electron momenta in Pb and PbIn alloys were measured by the positron annihilation technique. The distributions of momentum observed in single crystals of the specimens showed appreciable anisotropy. A model of the known Fermi surface of Pb near the (111) zone face was adjusted to fit the data. A similar model for the alloys was used to determine kf as a function of in concentration in the range 0 < In < 48 at .%. The results are remarkably like free electron theory. (6 refs., 5 figs.)
