Abstract

Hartree-Fock calculations are presented of a theoretical model describing the Sr/CaRuO4 family of compounds. Both commensurate and incommensurate magnetic states are considered, along with orbital ordering and the effect of lattice distortions. For reasonable parameter values, interactions disfavor orbital disproportionation. A coherent description of the observed phase diagram is obtained.
