43. This model is a modified version of the double-exchange model used in Ref. from which we have dropped the concentration dependence (∼ 1 / √ c) of the prefactor as this requires definitive knowledge of the exchange mechanism. While our results point to a double-exchange mechanism, we do not have sufficient ab initio data to firmly establish the concentration dependence of the prefactor. If we were to assume a 1 / √ c dependence when fitting our existing data, this would only serve to increase the exchange coupling at lower concentrations from the present value and raise the Curie temperatures for those low-doping cases. Our overall conclusions, especially in the range of 10 % and higher doping, which are of interest for room-temperature ferromagnetism, would essentially remain unaltered.

47. More specifically, since any site is either empty (σ = 0) or accommodates only two distinct spin orientations (σ = ± 1) (noncollinear spins are not examined in this study), the Heisenberg model reduces to a three-state Potts model.
