摘要
Trioxides of rubidium, strontium, and ruthenium belong to the family of alkali and alkaline earth ruthenates. SrRuO3 crystallizes in various symmetry classes-orthorhombic, tetragonal, or cubic-whereas RbRuO3 is perovskite (cubic) structured and crystallizes only in the cubic space group Pm (3) over bar m(No. 221). In this study, we investigated the structural stability as well as the electronic and magnetic properties of two cubic perovskites SrRuO3 and RbRuO3. We established the corresponding lattice parameters, magnetic moments, density of states (DOS), and band structures using ab-initio density-functional theory (DFT). Both compounds exhibited a metallic ferromagnetic ground state with lattice parameter values between 3.83 and 3.96 angstrom; RbRuO3 had magnetic moments between 0.29 and 0.34 mu(B) whereas SrRuO3 had magnetic moments between 1.33 and 1.66 mu(B). This study paves way for further RbRuO3 research.
