摘要
We have performed first-principles band structure calculations of epsilon-TiNiSi type CeRhAs and CeRhSb. Results of the calculations predict that the ground state of CeRhAs is insulating with an indirect band gap of 38 meV. On the other hand, the ground state of CeRhSb is semimetallic with anisotropic hole and electron pockets. Band structures near the Fermi energy and the origin of the band gap are discussed in detail.
