The calculated anisotropies obtained are in qualitative agreement with experimental and can be interpreted in terms of the electronic structure of these compounds. It is expected that these results will make possible a more detailed interpretation of the changes in magnetic susceptibility which occur in these compounds upon transforming to a charge-density-wave stateBand structureCharge density wavesMagnetic susceptibilityNiobium compoundsTantalum compoundsTight-binding calculationsVanadium compoundsarticle241469
