| In this paper we present the electronic structure and magnetic properties of YbPdSb in low-temperature MgAsAg-type structure and high-temperature TiNiSi-type structure. The calculations were performed by ab initio full-relativistic full potential local orbital method within the local spin density approximation. Ab initio calculations showed the metallic character of YbPdSb compound in both structures. The density of states at the Fermi level is greater in high-temperature than in low-temperature structure. |
