We have investigated the magnetic electronic structures of PtMnSb, NiMnSb, Ni₂MnSb,MnSb, MnAlGe, and Mn₂Sb by soft-x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) measurements in the Mn $2p$ core absorption region. Different degrees of the electron itinerancy of the Mn $3d$ states are discussed. The large orbital angular momentum of the Mn $3d$ electrons is revealed for MnSb by the MCD spectrum. In addition, the XAS and MCD spectra are measured in the Sb $3d,$ Ni $2p,$ and Pt $4f$ core excitation regions. An induced magnetic moment of Sb valence orbitals with the spin antiparallel to that of Mn is clearly indicated for NiMnSb and Mn₂Sb.
