We carried out the de Haasvan Alphen (dHvA) experiment for an antiferromagnet UCd11 and its non-5f reference compound ThCd11 to clarify the Fermi surface properties and the true electronic specific-heat coefficient of UCd11. We observed dHvA signals of both compounds and compared the experimental results with the result of theoretical band calculations. The Fermi surfaces of both compounds are found to be small and closed. The cyclotron masses obtained from the dHvA data of UCd11 are compared with those of reference compounds ThCd11, NpCd11, and LaCd11, and the value of UCd11 is estimated to be about 100mJK2mol1, which is much smaller than the 840mJK2mol1 in the previous reports. It is concluded that this large value is mainly not due to heavy quasiparticles but due to the magnetic contribution to the specific heat.
