Dependences of the magnetic moment on the lattice constant for binary and pseudo-binary compounds , and with a hexagonal -type structure are studied by an ab initio calculation on a self-consistent linear muffin-tin orbital method within the atomic sphere approximation. It is found that Co moments in decrease abruptly at a critical lattice constant smaller than the observed one. On the other hand, Ni moments in are shown to appear at a lattice constant a little larger than the observed one. Similar calculations are carried out for the ordered compound , where Co and Ni atoms occupy the 3g and 2c sites, respectively. It is shown that Co and Ni atoms in this compound lose their moments at a lattice constant slightly smaller than the observed one. It is also found that the Co atom on the 3g site in and has two magnetic states, a high-moment state and a low-moment or non-magnetic state, depending on the lattice constant. The present results explain the concentration dependence of the the bulk moment observed for and .
