Abstract
The structural and electronic properties of B2-cadmium lanthanide (RE), CdLn (Ln=La, Ce and Pr) intermetallics have been calculated at T=0K at ambient and at high pressure by using tight binding linear muffin tin orbital method. We have estimated lattice parameter, bulk modulus, density of states for the three CdLn intermetallics. The f-electrons present in the -Ln, play important role. The variation in density of states under compression is calculated due to Pr-f effect in CdPr, which opens a possibility of structural instability.
