In the quantum theory of matter the study of the physical properties of any system, an atom, a molecule, or a solid, begins with the determination of the energy levels and the wave functions of the many electrons in the system. For this reason the theoretical and experimental investigations of the electronic structure of rare-earth metals have always occupied an important position in rare earth research. The pioneering calculations of the energy band structure of rare earth metals were motivated by the attempt to understand the complicated magnetic structures of these metals as revealed by neutron scattering.
