Self-consistent ab initio band-structure calculations using the augmented-spherical-wave method were performed for the hypothetical compounds YFe 12 and YFe 8 M 4 (M= Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Mo, and W) with the ThMn 12 structure, in which the M atoms occupy the 8 (i) crystallographic sites. We found that YFe 12 is a weak ferromagnet: For none of the three Fe sites is the majority-spin 3d band completely occupied. Using extrapolated experimental lattice parameters, the calculated total magnetization (24.2 μ B/formula-unit) and the calculated moment reduction after replacement of the Fe (i) atoms by an M atom are in good agreement with experimental data on YFe 12− x M x (1≤ x≤ 3) compounds. The calculated local magnetic moments are compared with the results of neutron-diffraction and Mössbauer-spectroscopy experiments, as well as with the results of band-structure calculations on some structurally related compounds.
