The muffin-tin sphere radii were 2.5, 2.1, and 1.5 Bohr for Pb(Sr), Ru, and O, respectively, the cutoff energy of the plane wave expansion was set at 16 Ryd, and 1600 k points were used for integration over the Brillouin zone. Structural relaxations gave lattice constants only 1.2% smaller than the experimental ones and atomic displacements ≤0.02 Å.
