We report the first determination of the Fermi surface for a quasi-one-dimensional oxide conductor, Li[sub 0.9]Mo[sub 6]O[sub 17]. The Fermi surface has been measured within the cleavage plane of the crystal using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The Fermi surface consists of two parallel straight lines, separated by a nesting vector of approximately 0.7[plus minus]0.05 A[sup [minus]1]. A large density of states at [ital E][sub [ital F]] is observed from the measured band dispersion, despite a low photoemission spectral intensity at [ital E][sub [ital F]]. The measured Fermi surface allows the prediction of the magnitude of the displacement vector associated with soft phonons and a postulated Peierls transition in Li[sub 0.9]Mo[sub 6]O[sub 17].
