The authors study some compounds of the perovskite (or pseudo-cubic perovskite) series AMO{sub 3}, where M is a transition metal and A is Ca, Sr, or Nd, by LSDA self-consistent electronic structure calculations with the LMTO method. Transport and magnetic properties, as well as Fermi surfaces are calculated. These materials exhibit sharp density of states features in the vicinity of the Fermi level that strongly affect their transport and magnetic properties and make them very sensitive to structural deformation and stoichiometry. Calculated total energies are very close for anti-ferromagnetic and ferromagnetic solutions. This explains qualitatively the magnetoresistive anomalies shown by this family of compounds.
