First published in 1980, this is a Festschrift to honour Professor David Schoenberg, FRS, on the subject of electrons at the Fermi surface.

Fermi Surfaces of Low-Dimensional Organic Metals and Superconductors is an introduction to quasi-one- and quasi-two-dimensional organic metals and a review of the current knowledge on the electronic structure of these materials. The principal structural, electronic, and superconducting properties are described and illustrated with many examples. The book introduces the basic theoretical concepts necessary for the understanding of the experimental techniques and reviews in detail recent results in the investigation of the Fermi surface topology. The book is intended both as an introduction and as a reference book for active researchers.

A treatment of the Fermi-liquid theory of high-frequency phenomena in metals, in paricular the effects due to local features in the geometry of the Fermi surface. The text develops a consistent theory of several effects, such as cyclotron resonances in magnetic fields normal to the surface. Topics covered include: basic equations of the Fermi-liquid theory; cyclotron Doppler on waves; local anomalies in the Fermi surface; cyclotron resonancce in metals; magneto-acoustic oscillations and the local geometry of the Fermi surface.
