Abstract
Calculations of the electronic and magnetic properties of the nonmagnetic metallic compound are reported. These predict at the density functional level a magnetic state involving ordering along the axis. This predicted ground state contrasts with experiment, which does not show magnetic order. The electronic structure is three dimensional, and is similar to that of the unconventional superconductor as well as that of the high-pressure collapsed tetragonal phase of , which is also a superconductor. Based on the results in relation to experiment, we infer that properties of are strongly influenced by a nearby antiferromagnetic quantum critical point.
