The electronic structure of the pseudobinary cubic Laves phase (C15) Hf 1− x Zr x V 2 alloys is presented. The self‐consistent band calculations are made by the tight‐binding LMTO method. The calculated density of states at the Fermi level reaches a maximum at x = 0.35. The experiments indicated that the electronic specific heat coefficient and the susceptibility have a maximum at the same concentration of zirconium.
