Abstract
The differences in electronic structure between PtMnSb and NiMnSb are investigated using the augmented-spherical-wave method. It is found that the large differences in magneto-optical behavior between the two compounds are due to the mass-velocity and Darwin terms, and not to the spin-orbit interaction.Keywords
