Electronic structure of the ordered ferromagnetic alloys Ni3Mn,Ni3Fe,and Ni3Co

Calculations of the band structure of the ferromagnetic alloys Ni₃Mn, Ni₃Fe, and Ni₃Co are presented. The results are compared with experimental data. Change in the electronic structure as one goes from Ni₃Mn to Ni₃Co is analyzed. The occurrence of ferromagnetism in the alloys studied and the possibility of their existence in an ordered ferromagnetic state are examined.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 6, pp. 82–88, June, 1988.
