Abstract The magnetic susceptibilities and single crystalline elastic constants of lead-indium alloys have been measured in the composition range 0 to 20 at.% indium. Comparison of these data with the data from lead-thallium alloys shows that, in the composition range 0 to 7 at.% solute, the solutes serve primarily to deplete the valence electron concentrations with band structures which are essentially the same as that of pure lead. At higher solute concentrations, those parameters of the lead-indium alloys which are controlled by the valence electron distributions diverge from values which would be expected from a simple lowering of the Fermi energy within the band structure of lead. Thus a rigid band approximation is valid at lower but not at higher indium concentrations in the lead-indium system. A qualitative correlation exists between the elastic anisotropy ratios and the stacking fault densities in both the lead-indium and lead-thallium alloy systems.
