Abstract

Condon’s theory, predicting the periodic formation and disappearance of dia- and paramagnetic domains in non-magnetic metals under the conditions of a strong de Haas-van Alphen effect, is reviewed. Earlier experiments, evincing domains in silver and supporting the conjecture of domains in Be are discussed, and the recently obtained first spectroscopical evidence for the domain phase in beryllium is presented. The principle of muon spin rotation spectroscopy, used in these investigations, is described in some detail.
