Positron annihilation in InPb alloy single crystals
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.)
