A collinear-point detector geometry has been used to study positron annihilation in single-crystal lithium. The results are interpreted in terms of the higher momentum components of the electron wave functions and the lithium Fermi surface. A consistent interpretation favors a value for the Fourier component V 110 of the lattice potential of close to 0.10 Ry and a Fermi surface whose radius in the 110 direction is 2.9% greater than in the 100 direction. This latter result is consistent with Compton-scattering data and both results are in close agreement with the recent band-structure calculations of Rudge.
