Abstract

The electronic band structure of LaRh 2 Si 2 has been calculated using the self-consistent full potential nonorthogonal local orbital minimum basis scheme based on the density functional theory within local density approximation. The La 5d and Rh 4d states play dominant roles near the Fermi level. The three different Fermi surfaces are made of the Rh 4d and La 5d states. Our fixed spin moment calculations of the value S ∼ 2.2 does not indicate any ferromagnetic instability of the paramagnetic ground state.
