Fig.1 The spin wave dispersions obtained by (a) LMTO calculations and (b) the tight binding approach (model A) along the symmetry directions $`\mathrm{\Gamma }`$X, XM and MR shown as a function of doping.

Fig. 2 The doping dependence of the exchange couplings $`J_1`$, $`J_2`$, $`J_4`$ and $`J_8`$ between atoms at ($`a`$ 0 0), ($`a`$ $`a`$ 0), (2$`a`$ 0 0) and (3$`a`$ 0 0), where $`a`$ is the lattice parameter.

Fig. 3 The (a) minority-spin and (c) majority-spin $`d`$ partial density of states within models A, B and C. The spin wave dispersions along $`\mathrm{\Gamma }`$X as a function of doping within models (b) B and (d) C are shown along with (e) the combined contributions of models B and C. $`y`$ refers to the hole concentration in the majority-spin $`e_g`$ band with reference to its half-filled case. $`z`$ is the electron concentration in the minority-spin $`t_{2g}`$ band. $`x`$ is the net concentration of the doped holes and is given by $`x=yz`$.

Fig. 4 The dependence of the spin wave energies on the $`e_g`$ hole doping $`y`$ along $`\mathrm{\Gamma }`$X within model D. The hopping between oxygen atoms and the $`t_{2g}`$ orbitals on the Mn atom have been left out of the model. (a) $`pd\sigma `$=-2.02 eV and (b) $`pd\sigma `$=-2.25 eV.

Fig. 5 The variation of the exchange couplings $`J_1`$, $`J_2`$, $`J_4`$ and $`J_8`$ with the $`e_g`$ hole doping $`y`$. Open circles are for the case (model B) including the hopping between oxygen atoms and $`pd\sigma `$=-2.02 eV. Open and filled squares are for the cases (model D) without the hopping between oxygen atoms: $`pd\sigma `$=-2.02 eV (open squares) and $`pd\sigma `$=-2.25 eV (filled squares). The $`t_{2g}`$ orbitals on the Mn atom have been left out of the basis set.
