Abstract
A new tight-binding total-energy method, which has been shown to accur ately predict ground-state properties of transition and noble metals, is applied to manganese, the element with the most complex ground-stat e structure among the d metals. We show that the tight-binding method correctly predicts the ground-state structure of Mn, and offers some i nsight into the magnetic properties of this state.
