Abstract

We have performed calculations of Fermi surfaces for cubic Laves-phase heavy fermion compounds CeCo 2 , CeRh 2 and CeRu 2 , and enhanced electronic specific-heat coefficients γ ehs (i.e., mass enhancement factor), in which many-body effects are taken into account. The calculated Fermi surfaces of CeCo 2 and CeRu 2 are in good agreement with the dHvA measurements. On the other hand, the results for CeRh 2 hardly show satisfactory explanations for the measurements. Then, we have calculated enhancement factors \(\tilde\gamma\) for density of states of f -electrons using a method of perturbation expansion with respect to electron-electron interactions based on Fermi liquid theory. The values of γ ehs calculated by using \(\tilde\gamma\) reproduce well the experimental values for CeCo 2 and CeRu 2 .
