  We have recently demonstrated that the new SCAN metaGGA density functional theory (DFT) correctly describes the ground states of cuprates, thereby opening the way to the parameter-free studies of these complex materials. Here by using SCAN we provide unprecedented first-principles description of stripe states in high-Tc cuprate YBa2Cu3O7 (hole doped phase) and the precursor stripe states in YBa2Cu3O6 (pristine undoped phase). Remarkably, while the precursor stripe states are relatively high in energy, as compared to the antiferromagnetic (AFM) ground state, a large number of stripe states are essentially degenerate with the AFM state in YBa2Cu3O7. These nearly degenerate states are very suggestive of the pseudogap phase which is dominated by fluctuations. Moreover, we find that the non-magnetic state has a much higher energy – that is, the non-magnetic Fermi liquid state in YBa2Cu3O7 is not relevant to the mysterious properties of cuprates. Our simulation also clearly indicates that lattice distortions cannot be disentangled from the stripe states and an accurate description of stripe states should include spin, charge, and lattice degrees of freedom on the same footing. This work on stripes provides a realistic model for studying the cuprate pseudogap phase with implications for pairing electrons in the superconducting phase.
