title: Using the de Haas-van Alphen effect to map out the closed three-dimensional Fermi surface of natural graphite.
abstract: The Fermi surface of graphite has been mapped out using de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) measurements at low temperature with in-situ rotation. For tilt angles θ>60° between the magnetic field and the c axis, the majority electron and hole dHvA periods no longer follow a cos(θ) behavior demonstrating that graphite has a three-dimensional closed Fermi surface. The Fermi surface of graphite is accurately described by highly elongated ellipsoids. A comparison with the calculated Fermi surface suggests that the Slonczewski-Weiss-McClure trigonal warping parameter γ(3) is significantly larger than previously thought.
