Abstract
Recently synthesized compounds Pr~3~Co~13~B~2~ and Pr~5~Co~19~B~6~ belong to the R~m+n~Co~5m+3n~B~2n~ family with (m = 2, n = 1) and (m = 2, n = 3), respectively. They are studied because of their possible use as permanent magnets. The electronic structure is investigated by the tight binding version of the linear muffinβtin orbital method in the atomic sphere approximation (TBβLMTO ASA). The cobalt atoms occupying distinct sites have different types and number of neighbouring atoms and as a consequence the magnetic moments are different. The calculated values are compared with the results of bulk measurements. (Β© 2006 WILEYβVCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

An ab initio self-consistent-field (scF) algorithm taking into account all the features of the one-dimensional translational periodicity and the helical symmetry is presented. This algorithm includes the long-range correction to the Coulomb potential and is designed to calculate the band structure o
