As a minimal model, we identify the one-band Hubbard model for the Ni 3dx2−y2 orbital plus a pocket around the A-momentum. The latter, however, merely acts as a decoupled electron reservoir. This reservoir makes a careful translation from nominal Sr-doping to the doping of the one-band Hubbard model mandatory. Our dynamical mean-field theory calculations, in part already supported by the experiment, indicate that the Γ pocket, Nd 4f orbitals, oxygen 2p, and the other Ni 3d orbitals are not relevant in the superconducting doping regime. The physics is completely different if topotactic hydrogen is present or the oxygen reduction is incomplete. Then, a two-band physics hosted by the Ni 3dx2−y2 and 3d3z2−r2orbitals emerges. Based on our minimal modeling, we calculated the superconducting Tc vs. Sr-doping x phase diagram prior to the experiment using the dynamical vertex approximation. For such a notoriously difficult to determine quantity as Tc, the agreement with the experiment is astonishingly good. The prediction that Tc is enhanced with pressure or compressive strain has been confirmed experimentally as well. This supports that the one-band Hubbard model plus an electron reservoir is the appropriate minimal model.
- ItemNickelate superconductors - a renaissance of the one-band Hubbard model(Berlin : Springer Nature, 2020) Kitatani, Motoharu; Si, Liang; Janson, Oleg; Arita, Ryotaro; Zhong, Zhicheng; Held, KarstenThe recently discovered nickelate superconductors appear, at first glance, to be even more complicated multi-orbital systems than cuprates. To identify the simplest model describing the nickelates, we analyse the multi-orbital system and find that it is instead the nickelates which can be described by a one-band Hubbard model, albeit with an additional electron reservoir and only around the superconducting regime. Our calculations of the critical temperature TC are in good agreement with experiment, and show that optimal doping is slightly below 20% Sr-doping. Even more promising than 3d nickelates are 4d palladates.
