Abstract
The observation of Condon domains in white tin, obtained by muon spin rotat ion spectroscopy, is reported. The experiment at T=0.08 K for external magn etic fields between 1 and 2.6 T perpendicular to the (100) crystal plane re veals two ''active" extremal cross sections of the Fermi surface, leading t o domain formation with two different de Haas-van Alphen frequencies F(tau (1)(2)) and F(pi (1)(2)) at different field ranges and having a crossover r egion with no periodicity.
