Abstract

The electronic structure of Tl₂Mn₂O₇ was examined by performing tight binding band calculations. The overlap between the Mnt_2g- and Tl 6s-block bands results in a partial filling of the Tl 6s-block bands. The associated Fermi surface consists of 12 cigar-shape electron pockets with each electron pocket about 1/1000 of the first Brillouin zone in size. The Tl 6s-block bands have orbital contributions from the Mn atoms, and the carrier density is very low. These are important for the occurrence of a colossal magnetoresistance in Tl₂Mn₂O₇.
