Abstract

It is shown that the numbers of valence electrons assigned to the γ-alloys, β-manganese and alloys with similar structure, and α-manganese by a new system of metallic valences agree closely with the electron numbers calculated for complete filling of important Brillouin polyhedra for these structures.
