The electronic structure and magnetic properties of the Dy(Co0.75Si0.25)(2)
and DyCo2 compounds have been studied by the tight binding version of the
linear muffin-tin orbital method ill the atomic sphere approximation (TB-LM
TO ASA). The calculated magnetic moments are close to the experimental valu
es. The Si impurities cause the change of the Co moments and the Curie temp
erature. The moments on Dy atoms are almost constant.
