We introduce a two-band Kondo-lattice model to describe ferromagnetic half-metals with local magnetic moments. In a model study, the electronic and magnetic properties are presented by temperature dependent magnetization curves, band-structures, spin polarizations and plasma frequencies. These are obtained from numerically evaluated equations, based on the single-electron Green functions. We show that the mutual influence between the itinerant electrons and the local magnetic moments is responsible for several phase transitions of the half-metals, namely first and second order magnetic phase transitions, as well as half-metal to semiconductor and half-metal to semimetal transitions.
