Abstract
The mixed manganite-cuprate CaCu3Mn4O12 is calculated, using density functional methods, to be a spin asymetric ferrimagnetic semiconductor. Cu (formally S=1/2) antialigns with Mn (formally S=3/2), and the net spin moment is 9 μB, consistent with the formal spins. The valence bands maximun has Cu dxyO ps character with spin aligned antiparallel to the net magnetization; the conduction-band minimum has opposite spin and mixed Cu-Mn character. This spin asymetric gap (1) implies a thermally induced current that is 100% spin polarized and (2) leads to a field-induced gap. The relationship of these properties to the reported magnetoresistance is discussed.
