By performing first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory we optimized the geometric structures of TmZn₁₅S₁₆ (Tm=V, Cr, Mn) and determined their magnetic properties. TmZn₁₅S₁₆ are typical half-metallic ferromagnets. The supercell magnetic moments of VZn₁₅S₁₆, CrZn₁₅S₁₆, and MnZn₁₅S₁₆ are 3.0099μ_B, 3.9977μ_B, and 5.0092μ_B, respectively, and these arise mainly from the Tm ions. The half-metallicity of CrZn₁₅S₁₆ is more stable than that of VZn₁₅S₁₆ and MnZn₁₅S₁₆. These half-metallic ferromagnets have wide spin gaps. Therefore, high Curie temperatures are possible. The electronic structures of the V, Cr, and Mn ions are e_g²↑t_2g¹↑, e_g²↑t_2g²↑, and e_g²↑t_2g³↑, respectively.
