<p> A study of the Fermi surface of mercury has been carried out using cyclotron resonance and magnetoresistance techniques. Oscillations of the microwave surface impedance, which have been identified as quantum oscillations, have appeared at high magnetic field strengths, and a study of these oscillations has added more information about the Fermi surface. </p> <p> The results of these experiments are compared with two models of the Fermi surface, the nearly-free-electron model, and the relativistic-augmented-plane-wave model. The relativistic-augmented-plane-wave model was found to require only small modifications to be consistent with the data. </p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
