First-principles generation of Stereographic Maps for high-field magnetoresistance in normal metals: an application to Au and Ag
Abstract
About thirty high-field magnetoresistance Stereographic Maps have been measured for metals between Fifties and Seventies but no way was known till now to compare these complex experimental data with first-principles computations. We present here the method we developed to generate Stereographic Maps directly from a metal's Fermi Surface, based on the Lifshitz model and the recent advances by S.P. Novikov and his pupils. As an application, we test the method with an interesting toy model and then with Au and Ag.
