Abstract

Motivated by the recently discovered high TcT_c nickelate superconductor La3Ni2O7\mathrm{La_3Ni_2O_7}, we investigate superconductivity in a two dimensional Hubbard model on square lattice that consists of two layers of hybridizing dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2} and dz2d_{z^2} orbitals. Employing cluster dynamical mean-field theory, we establish phase diagrams resolving the crucial dependence of superconducting TcT_c on electron hybridization VV between dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2} and dz2d_{z^2} orbitals at the same layer, and on the hopping tt_{\perp} between two dz2d_{z^2} orbitals at different layers. VV and tt_{\perp} are presumably linked to the pairing phase coherence, and "pairing glue" of the system respectively. Our result favors a two-component theory explanation of superconductivity in a composite system. The influence of the pseudogap effect and Hund's coupling on superconductivity are discussed, and also the implication of our result to the understanding of La3Ni2O7\mathrm{La_3Ni_2O_7} superconductivity.
