摘要
Electronic structures of superconducting ternaries: La3Ni4Si4, La3Ni4Ge4, La3Pd4Si4, La3Pd4Ge4, and their non-superconducting counterpart, La3Rh4Ge4, have been calculated employing the full-potential local-orbital method within the density functional theory. Our investigations were focused particularly on densities of states (DOSs) at the Fermi level with respect to previous experimental heat capacity data, and Fermi surfaces (FSs) being very similar for all considered here compounds. In each of these systems, the FS originating from several bands contains both holelike and electronlike sheets possessing different dimensionality, in particular quasi-two-dimensional cylinders with nesting properties. A comparative analysis of the DOSs and FSs in these 344-type systems as well as in nickel (oxy)pnictide and borocarbide superconductors indicates rather similar phonon mechanism of their superconductivity.
