Abstract

We present electronic band structure of Ag5_5Pb2_2O6_6 with layered hexagonal structure containing one-dimensional chains and two-dimensional Kagom\'{e} layers of silver. A half-filled conduction band shows extremely simple, single nearly-free-electron-like Fermi surface. The conduction band is composed of an antibonding state of Pb-6s6s and O-2p2p mixing with Ag-4d and 5s5s. Mass enhancement in the state density at the Fermi energy is expected to be negligibly small by comparing with the specific-heat data. Calculated Fermi velocity is consistent with small anisotropy observed in transport properties. Doping effects on the electronic structure are also discussed.
