Abstract

The phase transition of the intermetallic compound RhTi (cubic → tetragonal) was studied using band structure calculations. It was found that a band Jahn-Teller effect arises from the 25% filled Ti 3d e g-like band. We calculated that the energy of the compound is lowered by 0.04 eV (unit cell) −1by the tetragonal distortion.
