AbstractAbstract
[en] The materials CeSn3, USn3, and NpSn3 are all moderately heavy Fermion compounds with electronic specific heat coefficients of 73, 169, and 242 mJ/mole K2. CeSn3 is known as a mixed valent system and NpSn3 is a weak itinerant antiferromagnet. All three are strongly enhanced. Being in the relatively simple Au3Cu structure, they form an excellent set of materials to study as representatives of strongly enhanced systems. One would like to ascertain what properties can be determined from band calculations based on density functional theory in the local density approximation. It has already been shown that the Fermi surface topology of CeSn3 can be well described in this way even though the experimental masses are much larger than the band results. The enhancement factor for USn3 is even larger and NpSN3 is indeed predicted to go magnetic. We present here fully relativistic SCF calculations for these materials and discuss the relation between our results and what is known experimentally
