Abstract
The REMe3 intermetallics crystallise with the fee, AuCu3 type of crystal structure. There are few series of compounds among them. The most numerous are REPb3, REln3 and REGa3 In the two last decades these systems have attracted a great deal of interest because of their salient feature such as valence fluctuation, superconductivity, magnetic moment formation, crystal field effects or multiaxial magnetic structures. The electronic structure of this family of compounds has been recently intensively studied by investigation of the de Haas-van Alphen effect and similarities in topology of their Fermi surface has been found [1].
