Abstract

This paper reviews experimental and theoretical works on the study of the Fermi surface of pure metals with the aid of high-frequency size effects. Particular attention is given to little-known new ballistic effects such as the time of flight effect, multichannel size effect, and nonlinear size effect. Keywords: Fermi surface of metals, radio-frequency size effect, multichannel surface scattering, pure metals.
