Abstract
On the basis of the electron energy structure calculated by the self-consistent method of linear MT orbitals (the LMTO method), the kinetic properties of NiMn and NiTi are calculated from first principles. Satisfactory agreement with experimental data on the phonon electrical resistance and thermoemf is obtained for NiTi. For NiMn, the agreement of ρph(T) with experiment is only qualitative; the reasons for the quantitative discrepancy are discussed. Quasi-free position states and the contribution of various electron states in NiMn and NiTi are calculated by the LMTO method.
