In this work, we investigate the origin of magnetic and orbital order in K2CuF4. We first construct Wannier functions from the Bloch states obtained by local-density approximation calculations with the full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method. Then, by perturbative theory, we calculate magnetic couplings which are in good agreement with experimental results both for the ambient and high pressure structures. To investigate the origin of orbital order, we perform calculations with local-density approximation+dynamical mean-field theory method. We discuss the roles of superexchange[1] and the charge-transfer effects[2] on the orbital ordering.
