摘要： We report the results of first-principles calculations on the electronic structure in ferromagnetic and non-magnetic hexagonal MnV (V=As, Sb, Bi). The calculations are based on the local-spin-density approximation (LSDA) of the density-functional theory (DFT) as well as the atomic sphere approximation (ASA) in the linear muffin-tin orbitals (LMTO) method. For the non-spin-polarized case, the calculated bands in these compounds exhibit p-d mixing in the vicnity of Fermi energy and the Mn 3d bands dominate the antibonding parts of p-d hybride. The spin-polarization in ferromagnetic states are mainly due to the splitting of anti-bonding bands from p-d mixing. The calculated spin moments in these compounds agree fairly well with experimental values and refine previous band calculations. In the spin-polarized band structure, the Mn 3d electrons are found to exhibit week dispersions.
