Evidence for Condon domains in white tin with two de Haas-van Alphen periods

[摘要] The observation of Condon domains in white tin, obtained by muon spin rotation spectroscopy, is reported. The experiment at T=0.08 K for external magnetic fields between 1 and 2.6 T perpendicular to the (100) crystal plane reveals two ''active extremal cross sections of the Fermi surface, leading to domain formation with two different de Haas-van Alphen frequencies F(tau (1)(2)) and F(pi (1)(2)) at different field ranges and having a crossover region with no periodicity.
