Abstract

We explain the experimental data on the magnetization of LaRhIn5 recently published by R. G. Goodrich et al. in Phys. Rev.Lett. 89, 026401 (2002). We show that the magnetization of a small electron group associated with a band-contact line was detected in that paper. These data provide the first observation of the Berry phase of electrons in metals via the de Haas - van Alphen effect.
