The obtained energy bands mainly due to the large hybridization between Ce $4f$ and In 5$p$ states well reproduce the Fermi surfaces consistent with the de Haas-van Alphen experimental results. However, when we attempt to understand magnetism and superconductivity in CeTIn$_5$ from the microscopic viewpoint, the energy bands obtained in the RLAPW method are too complicated to analyze the system by further including electron correlations. Thus, it is necessary to prepare a more simplified model, keeping correctly the essential characters of the energy bands obtained in the band-structure calculation. For the purpose, we construct a tight-binding model for CeTIn$_5$ by including $f$-$f$ and $p$-$p$ hoppings as well as $f$-$p$ hybridization, which are expressed by the Slater-Koster integrals, determined by the direct comparison with the band-calculation result. Similarity and difference between CeIrIn$_5$ and CeCoIn$_5$ are discussed based on the obtained tight-binding model, suggesting a significant importance of the effect of crystalline electric field to understand the difference in electronic properties among CeTIn$_5$. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0211360 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
