TL;DRAbstract

That the $4f$ electrons in the rare-earth antiferromagnetic compound ${\mathrm{CeRh}}_{2}{\mathrm{Si}}_{2}$ should be considered as localized electrons at cerium sites has been confirmed by comparing a de Haas--van Alphen experiment to the result of energy band calculations for ${\mathrm{LaRh}}_{2}{\mathrm{Si}}_{2}.$ When pressure p is applied to the compound, the N\'eel temperature ${T}_{\mathrm{N}1}=36 \mathrm{K}$ decreases and finally becomes zero at ${p}_{\mathrm{c}}\ensuremath{\simeq}1.0$--1.1 GPa. The topology of the Fermi surface is found to be almost unchanged up to 1.0 GPa, but the cyclotron effective mass increases with increasing pressure. Above 1.1 GPa, the topology of the Fermi surface changes abruptly. A new Fermi surface is explained by the $4f$-itinerant-band model. The corresponding cyclotron mass is large, being about ${22m}_{0}.$
