We have employed a method to describe the interplay between structural distortion and induced charge as well as orbital degrees of freedom in a self-consistent way by combining density functional theory (DFT) and dynamical mean field theory (DMFT)[1]. The scheme involves solution of the full system in a local density approximation (Wien2K) followed by a wannier projection on correlated sub-bands (Wannier90). The impurity problem is treated with DMFT by employing continuous time quantum monte carlo (CT-QMC) method in the hybridization expansion (w2dynamics). The correlation induced correction to the charge density is incorporated in the total charge, which is obtained over a self-consistent loop of DFT and DMFT. The thin layer of SrVO3 (SVO) on SrTiO3 (STO) undergoes a Mott-Hubbard transition due to the spontaneous orbital symmetry breaking [2]. In contrast to SVO, there is a significant charge transfer between the layers of SrRuO3.
