Oxide perovskite materials attracted enormous attention because of a variety of intriguing physical properties. In this context, we present results of density functional theory (DFT) calculations for the bulk materials SrRuO3, SrTcO3 and Sr3Ru2O7 and the [001] surface of Sr3Ru2O7. For the exchange-correlation functional the generalized gradient approximation of Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof [1] was used and further studies were made with post-DFT concepts such as hybrid functional [2] and GW approaches [3]. Structural, electronic and magnetic properties were investigated for all the systems. Furthermore, simulations of scanning tunneling microscopy experiments [4] were performed for the clean as well as the CO-covered Sr3Ru2O7 [001] surface.
