Using Haydock's recursion method, the density of states was computed f
or Y(2)M(17)(M = Fe, Co or Ni) intermetallic compounds, for non-ideal
structures. A partial disorder was simulated displacing the Y atoms fr
om the 2b to 2c positions and the M atoms from 4f to 4e positions. The
magnetic moments, electron occupation number, electronic specific hea
t coefficient and Curie temperature were calculated.
