Abstract

The electronic structure of Ru2Si3 has been calculated with the empirical tight binding method and the recursion procedure. The calculation strongly indicates that there exists a gap in the structure, which makes Ru2Si3 semiconducting, as found experimentally and explains the stability of the chimney-ladder phases for a valence electron concentration per transition metal atom smaller than 14.
