David Sellmyer Publications. 112. The electronic structures of NdFeitTi, NdCotOVz, and YCo"Cr, have been studied with photoemission and spin-polarized calculations. The changes in these electronic structures upon nitrogenation have also been investigated. In the Fe compound, the Fe 3d states dominate the

Other than small energy shifts in the peak positions, there is an overall agreement between experimental data and the calculated density of states. The calculated density of states in the local-density approsimation for YCotOVZ is broadened to account for the well-known many-body effects and compared with the photoemission data.
