Abstract
By using a relativistic linear augmented-plane-wave method, we clarify energy band structure and the Fermi surfaces of recently synthesized thorium compound ThRhIn. We find several cylindrical Fermi surface sheets, which are similar to those of CeTIn (T=Ir and Co), PuTGa (T=Co and Rh), and AmCoGa. We discuss such similarity among the compounds including rare-earth or actinide ions with different electron numbers.
