the electronic structure of C a 2 R u O 4. Our LDA+ U calculation predicts Ru 4 dxy ferro-
orbital ordering at the ground state, and well explains the present σ (ω) as well as the
reported O 1 s x-ray absorption spectra. Variation of temperature (T) causes a large change
of spectral weight over several eV as well as collapse of a charge gap accompanied by
elongation of the c-axis Ru-O bond length. These results clearly indicate that the dxy orbital …
