The derivatives of the areas of extremal orbits on all the small sheets of the Fermi surface of rhenium, with respect to stress and strain along the hexad axis, have been determined from simultaneous measurements of Landau quantum oscillations in magnetostriction and torque, and also in sound velocity and torque. Strong anisotropy is observed in the stress derivatives of orbits in zones five and six as the direction of the magnetic field defining the normal to the orbit is varied; the anisotropy is most pronounced for orbits which come close to the line of degeneracy AL on the hexagonal Brillouin zone face. The derivatives of the small void in zone eight are found to be very large; this is consistent with the results of band structure calculations which show that this feature of the Fermi surface is very sensitive to small changes in the Fermi energy. Cyclotron effective masses for a number of orbits on the void have also been measured.

The absolute amplitudes of quantum oscillations in magnetostriction and the elastic constant, c11, have been measured simultaneously, for the first time, in a single crystal sample of tungsten. They are combined to give the strain dependence of the Fermi surface cross sections normal to [100] of the ball and ellipsoid surfaces. Comparison with values measured in another type of uniaxial experiment and with pressure derivatives indicates that the results are consistent, and that the method is feasible, although less convenient than other possible measurements giving the same information.

[100] and [111] iron whiskers were measured to determine the origin of open orbits responsible for anisotropy of the high field magnetoresistance. The marked strain dependence of the minima resulting from [Formula: see text] open orbits permits their unambiguous identification as resulting from magnetic breakdown at a symmetry degeneracy, de Haas–Shubnikov oscillations were observed, and complementary de Haas–van Alphen measurements showed the lower frequencies (in the range 1.2–1.5 MG) to correspond to a hole pocket of the minority spin Fermi surface.

The derivatives with respect to uniaxial elongational strain of the areas of representative orbits on all sheets of the Fermi surface of tetragonal white tin have been deduced from simultaneous measurements of the Landau quantum oscillations in elastic moduli and in torque. Strain derivatives have been determined for most known extremal cross-sectional areas normal to the [100], [110], and [001] symmetry axes; the anisotropy of the strain derivatives of several area branches, having normal directions in the (010) and (001) planes, has also been studied. Uniaxial and hydrostatic stress derivatives deduced from the strain derivatives have been found to be generally consistent with values obtained by other means.

We review recent progress in the study of quantum oscillations as a tool for uniquely probing low-energy electronic excitations in high- T c cuprate superconductors. Quantum oscillations in the underdoped cuprates reveal that a close correspondence with Landau Fermi-liquid behaviour persists in the accessed regions of the phase diagram, where small pockets are observed. Quantum oscillation results are viewed in the context of momentum-resolved probes such as photoemission, and evidence examined from complementary experiments for potential explanations for the transformation from a large Fermi surface into small sections. Indications from quantum oscillation measurements of a low-energy Fermi surface instability at low dopings under the superconducting dome at the metal–insulator transition are reviewed, and potential implications for enhanced superconducting temperatures are discussed.
