Abstract
The electronic structure of PdTe 2 has been determined using the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method. Unlike the electronic structure of other metal dichalcogenides with the same crystal structure, the eigenfunctions of PdTe 2 show strong metal and ligand mixing. The de Haas-van Alphen frequencies have been calculated and are in good agreement with experimental results. The calculated electronic density of states is in qualitative agreement with measurements of the specific heat of this material.
