Abstract

Infinite-layer nickelates show high-temperature superconductivity, and the experimental phase diagram agrees well with the one simulated within the dynamical vertex approximation (DΓA). Here, we compare the spin-fluctuation spectrum behind these calculations to resonant inelastic x-ray scattering experiments. The overall agreement is good. This independent cross validation of the strength of spin fluctuations strongly supports the scenario, advanced by DΓA, that spin fluctuations are the mediator of the superconductivity observed in nickelates.
