The scalar relativistic version of an accurate first principles full potential self-consistent linearized muffin tin orbital (LMTO) method has been employed for describing the physical properties of the parent system of the high-T{sub c} oxide superconductors, i.e., CaCuO2. The presently employed modified version of the LMTO method is quite fast and goes beyond the usual LMTO ASA method in the sense that it permits a completely general shape of the potential and the charge density. Also, in contrast to LMTO ASA, the present method is also capable of treating distorted lattice structures accurately. The calculated values of the lattice parameters of pure CaCuO2 lie within 3% of the experimentally measured values for the Sr-doped system Ca(0.86)Sr(0.14)CuO(2). The computed electronic structures and the density of states is quite similar to those of the other oxide superconductors, except of their three-dimensional character because of the presence of strong coupling between the closely spaced CuO2 layers. The van Hove singularity peak appears slightly below the Fermi level and a small concentration of oxygenation /or/ substitutional doping may pin it at the Fermi level. The calculated frequencies for some symmetric frozen phonons for undoped CaCuO2 are quite near to the measured data for the Sr-doped CaCuO2.
