Abstract

To understand the superconductivity recently discovered in Nd0.8Sr0.2NiO2, we carried out LDA+DMFT (local density approximation plus dynamical mean-field theory) and magnetic force response calculations. The on-site correlation in Ni-3d orbitals causes notable changes in the electronic structure. The calculated temperature-dependent susceptibility exhibits the Curie-Weiss behavior, indicating the localized character of its moment. From the low-frequency behavior of self-energy, we conclude that the undoped phase of this nickelate is Fermi-liquid-like contrary to cuprates. Interestingly, the estimated correlation strength by means of the inverse of quasiparticle weight is found to increase and then decrease as a function of hole concentration, forming a domelike shape. Another finding is that magnetic interactions in this material become two-dimensional by hole doping. While the undoped NdNiO2 has the sizable out-of-plane interaction, hole dopings strongly suppress it. This two-dimensionality is maximized at the hole concentration δ≈0.25. Further analysis as well as the implications of our findings are presented.
