Late transition-metal oxides with infinite-layer structure: Nickelates versus cuprates (1911.11521v3)

Published 26 Nov 2019 in cond-mat.str-el, cond-mat.mtrl-sci, and cond-mat.supr-con

Abstract: The correlated electronic structure of the infinite-layer compounds NdNiO$2$ and SrCuO$_2$ at stoichiometry and with finite hole doping is compared. Key differences are elucidated from an advanced first-principles many-body perspective. Contrary to the charge-transfer insulating cuprate, the self-doped nickelate remains non-insulating even for large interaction strength, though the Ni-$d{x2-y2}$ spectral weight is also gapped in that limit. Hybridization between Ni$(3d)$ and Nd$(5d)$ is crucial for the appearance of the self-doping band. Upon realistic hole doping, Sr${1-y}$CuO$_2$ shows the expected mixed oxygen-Cu-$d{x2-y2}$ (Zhang-Rice) states at low-energy. In the case of Nd${1-x}$Sr$_x$NiO$_2$, the self-doping band is shifted to higher energies and a doping-dependent $d{z2}$-versus-$d_{x2-y2}$ competition on Ni is revealed. The absence of prominent Zhang-Rice physics in infinite-layer nickelates might be relevant to understand the notable difference in the superconducting $T_{\rm c}$'s.
