Infinite-layer nickelates as Ni-eg Hund's metals

B. Kang, C. Melnick, et al.

Discover the intriguing findings of Byungkyun Kang and colleagues as they explore superconductivity in hole-doped infinite-layer nickelate Nd₁₋ₓSrₓNiO₂. Their groundbreaking research reveals how Hund's coupling in Ni-$d$ orbitals signals the emergence of a new class of Hund's metals, setting the stage for novel insights into correlated quantum materials.

Abstract
The discovery of superconductivity in hole-doped infinite-layer nickelate Nd₁₋ₓSrₓNiO₂ has sparked interest in correlated quantum materials. This study uses ab initio LQSGW+DMFT methodology to investigate the temperature and doping dependence of the local spectrum and susceptibilities. Results indicate that Hund's coupling in Ni-$d$ orbitals leads to multiple signatures of a Hund's metallic phase in Ni-$e_g$ orbitals, differing from Fe-based superconductors and cuprates. This finding reveals a new class of Hund's metals with implications for correlated two-orbital systems.
