Abstract

We present first measurements of quantum oscillations in the layered oxide superconductor Ag5Pb2O6. From a detailed angular and temperature dependent study of the de Haas–van Alphen effect we determine the electronic structure and demonstrate that the electron masses are very light, m*∼1.2me. The Fermi surface we observe is essentially that expected of nearly free electrons—establishing Ag5Pb2O6 as the first known example of a monovalent, nearly free electron superconductor at ambient pressure.
