  To describe the metal insulator transition in the new oxide TlSr2CoO5 we
investigate its electronic structure by LDA and model Hartree-Fock
calculations. Within LDA we find a homogeneous metallic and ferromagnetic
ground state, but when including the Coulomb interaction more explicitly within
the Hartree-Fock approximation, we find an insulating state of lower energy
with both spin and orbital order. We also interpret our results in terms of a
simple model.
