Abstract

We compare full potential LDA band calculations of the Fermi surfaces areas and band masses of MgB2 and ZrB2 previously reported and new dHvA data. Discrepancies in areas in MgB2 can be removed by a small shift of σ bands relative to π bands. Comparison of effective masses lead to orbit averaged el-ph coupling constants λσ=1.3 and λπ=0.5, whereas for ZrB2 only weak el-ph coupling with λ<0.3 is found. The ARPES data can be also well described by the LDA showing the presence of surface states.
