Phys. Rev. B 2, 1644 – Published 15 September 1970

Abstract

The energy-band structure of ${Mg}_{2}$ Pb as calculated by the relativistic orthogonalized-planewave method is described. The valence-band edge is found to be at the zone center and the conduction-band edge at the zone boundary, probably at the point $X$ . Band parameters are calculated and compared with recent Fermi-surface data.
