Effective one-band electron-phonon Hamiltonian for nickel perovskites

Condensed Matter 2016-08-31 v1

Abstract

Inspired by recent experiments on the Sr-doped nickelates, La2xSrxNiO4La_{2-x}Sr_xNiO_4, we propose a minimal microscopic model capable to describe the variety of the observed quasi-static charge/lattice modulations and the resulting magnetic and electronic-transport anomalies. Analyzing the motion of low-spin (s=1/2) holes in a high-spin (S=1) background as well as their their coupling to the in-plane oxygen phonon modes, we construct a sort of generalized Holstein t-J Hamiltonian for the NiO2NiO_2 planes, which contains besides the rather complex ``composite-hole'' hopping part non-local spin-spin and hole-phonon interaction terms.
