CeTiGe3 presents the rare case of a ferromagnetically (TC ≈ 14 K) ordered Kondo-lattice compound and is probably the first known example of an intermetallic hexagonal perovskite of the BaNiO3 structure type. LaTiGe3 may be used as its nonmagnetic reference, since both compounds crystallize in the same crystal structure [1,2]. To clarify the interplay between structural, localized, and itinerant degrees of freedom an accurate knowledge of the electronic band structure is necessary. Here, we present a detailed electronic-structure study of both compounds applying full potential density functional calculations. Since the Ge’s atomic position couples strongly to the band structure at the Fermi energy, a low-temperature, high-resolution structure refinement was made. We attempt to separate the influence of different parameters on the topology of the respective Fermi surfaces and will compare our results with de Haas-van Alphen measurements.
