We present a theoretical and experimental
study of the electronic structure of SrRuO3 after introduction
of vacancies. Theoretically, the modeling of non-stoichiometric variations
of SrRuO3 was performed by removing appropriate atoms or their
combinations, whereas in the experiments the annealing treatment at moderate
temperatures in ultra-high vacuum was applied. At comparison of the obtained
results allows us to draw an important conclusion that the formation of oxygen
vacancies may be closely related to the manifestation of strong correlation
effects in SrRuO3.
