English Motivated by the recently synthesized cubic phase BaRuO₃ under high pressure and high temperature, a thorough study has been conducted on its temperature-dependent electronic properties by using the state-of-the-art ab initio computing framework of density-functional theory combined with dynamical mean-field theory. At ambient condition the cubic phase BaRuO₃ should be a correlated Hund's metal with frozen spin magnetic moment. The spin-spin correlation function and local magnetic susceptibility can be well described by the Curie-Weiss law over a wide temperature range. The calculated low-frequency self-energy functions of Ru 4d states apparently deviate from the behaviors predicted by Landau Fermi-liquid theory. Beyond that, the low-frequency optical conductivity can be fitted to a power law ℜσ(ω)∼ω−0.98, which further confirms the non-Fermi-liquid metallic state
