Abstract
Angle-resolved de Haas-van Alphen measurements made on ThBe13 in pulsed mag netic fields are compared with Fermi surface predictions calculated by mean s of the linear augmented-plane-wave method with spin-orbit interactions. W hile all of the experimentally determined qustsiparticle effective masses a re light and of order the free electron mass, they are still roughly double those obtained from the calculated band structure, thereby being suggestiv e of the existence of notable electron-phonon interactions. The relevance o f these de Haas-van Alphen results to strongly correlated UBe13 is also dis cussed.
