✦ Synopsis

The band structures for Lu intermetallic compounds (LuPd 3, LuAI 3 and LuAI2) and Lu and Sr pnictides (LuAs, Lu4As 3 and Sr4As3) are calculated up to 14-20eV above the Fermi level by a self-consistent APW method. The agreement between the calculated density of states curves and the observed BIS spectra is quite good for intermetallic compounds, although some discrepancies are found for pnictides.
