Abstract
In this work we calculate the thermopower of Tl 2 Mn 2 O 7 , together with its static resistivity and dynamical conductivity. This compound exhibits colossal magnetoresistance, which is not adequately explained by the double-exchange mechanism. We use Hubbard operators to reformulate a previous model of Ventura and Alascio that describes the 3d orbitals of Mn with two magnetic configurations, hybridized with a conduction band associated to the Tl. We reformulate a previous treatment to obtain approximate one-electron green's functions (GF) for the model. We have employed these GF to calculate the properties mentioned above for several values of the system parameters and obtained a qualitative agreement with the experimental results.
