Abstract: The spin-states of cobalt based perovskite compounds depend sensitively on the valence state and local crystal environment of Co ions and the rich physical properties arise from strong coupling among charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom. While extensive studies have been carried out in the past, most of them concentrated on the isotropic compound LaCoO 3 . In this paper, using the unrestricted Hartree-Fock approximation and the real-space recursion method, we have investigated the competition of various magnetically ordered spin-states of anisotropic double-layered perovskite Sr 2 Y 0.5 Ca 0.5 Co 2 O 7 . The energy comparison among these states shows that the nearest-neighbor high-spin-intermediate-spin ferromagnetically ordered state is the relevant magnetic ground state of the compound. The magnetic structure and sizes of magnetic moments are consistent with the recent experimental observation. Copyright EDP Sciences/Società Italiana di Fisica/Springer-Verlag 2008
