Electronic structure of UCo4B compound

UCo4B is a member of uranium intermetallic borides family which crystallize s in the hexagonal CeCo4B structure. The experimental data suggest the occu rrence of the spin-fluctuation behaviour of UCo4B. In this paper we present the results of band structure calculations using the ab-initio tight bindi ng linear muffin-tin orbital method. We found good agreement between the ex perimental X-ray photoemission spectroscopy valence band spectrum and the a b-initio results.
