Electronic and magnetic structures of CuAu-type MnNi and Mn(ja have been studied by LMTO-ASA including the spin-orbit interaction in the frame of the LSD. In MnNi, the ar,ti-parallel arrangement of the Mn moments lowers the electronic energy by forming a pseudo-gap in the energy bands. The Mn moment lies in the c-plane with a value of 3.29 mu(B). The magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant, K-u is found to be - 9.7 x 10(5) J/m(3). In MnGa, the hybridization between the Mn d electrons and the delocalized Ga p electrons promotes an itineracy of the Mn d electrons. This reduces the Mn moment to 2.51 mu(B) but aligns the moments ferromagnetically along the c-axis with K-u of 2.6 x 10(6) J/m(3). Based on these two results, we have discussed the condition of metallic ferromagnetism of the Mn alloys. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
