Electronic structure of intermetallic compounds with CsCl structure

Abstract

Susceptibility, specific heat and Knight shift measurements as well as bandstructure calculations have been made for intermetallic compounds of the CsCl structure, ScB (where B is Ag, Cu, Pd, Rh, Ir, Ru), YRh and LaAg, to study the influence of filling the d shell of atom B. An analysis is given which yields quantitative results for the local susceptibilities, as characterized for the different angular momenta and sites of origin.
