Infinite-layer nickelates ($R$NiO$_2$) exhibit some distinct differences as compared to cuprate superconductors, leading to a debate concerning the role of rare-earth ions ($R$=La, Pr, Nd) in the low-energy many-body physics. Although…

The structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of the superconducting NdFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_{x}$ phases ($T_C=43 {\rm K}$ for $x=0.15$) have been investigated experimentally by high-resolution synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction,…

Recently, superconductivity was discovered in the infinite layer of hole-doped nickelates NdNiO$_{2}$. Contrary to this, superconductivity in LaNiO$_{2}$ is still under debate. This indicates the crucial role played by the $f$ electrons on…

In contrast to the cuprates, where the proximity of antiferromagnetism (AFM) and superconductivity is well established, first indications for AFM interactions in superconducting infinite-layer nickelates were only recently obtained. Here,…

We consider the role played by the 4f states in the rare-earth oxyarsenides REOFeAs (RE=Ce,Pr,Nd) and the oxyphosphate CeOFeP, using a first-principles technique that combines the local density approximation and dynamical mean-field theory…

The recent discovery of Sr-doped infinite-layer nickelate $\textrm{NdNiO}_2$ [D. Li et al. Nature 572, 624 (2019)] offers an exciting platform for investigating unconventional superconductivity in nickelatebased compounds. In this work, we…

Employing first-principles density functional theory calculations and Wannierization of the low energy band structure, we analyze the electronic structure of undoped, infinite-layer nickelate compounds, NdNiO$_2$, PrNiO$_2$ and LaNiO$_2$.…

The discovery of superconductivity in hole-doped infinite-layer NdNiO$_2$ -- a transition metal (TM) oxide that is both isostructural and isoelectronic to cuprate superconductors -- has lead to renewed enthusiasm in the hope of…

Orbital degrees of freedom in condensed matters could play important roles in forming a variety of exotic electronic states by interacting with conduction electrons. In 4f electron systems, because of strong intra-atomic spin-orbit…

Recent discovery of superconductivity in the doped infinite-layer nickelates has renewed interest in understanding the nature of high-temperature superconductivity more generally. The low-energy electronic structure of the parent compound…

Despite exhibiting a similar $d_{x^2-y^2}$ band character to cuprates, infinite-layer nickelates host additional electron pockets that distinguish them from single-band cuprates. The elusive orbital origin of these electron pockets has led…

Dilute Nd in simple cubic LaB$_6$ shows electrical resistance and specific heat features at low temperature consistent with a Kondo scale of $T_K \lesssim$ 0.3 K. Nd has a well localized {\it 4f}$^{3}$ {\it J} = 9/2 Hund's Rule…

In order to investigate the electronic state in the normal state of high-Tc cuprates in a wide range of temperature and hole-concentration, specific-heat, electrical-resistivity, magnetization and muon-spin-relaxation (muSR) measurements…

Motivated by the recent experimental discovery of superconductivity in the infinite-layer nickelate Nd0.8Sr0.2NiO2 [Li et al., Nature 572, 624 (2019)], we study how the correlated Ni 3dx2-y2 electrons in the NiO2 layer interact with the…

We report the growth of films of the intrinsic ferromagnetic semiconductor NdN, and an investigation of their optical and transport properties. There is clear evidence of a strong anomalous Hall effect as expected from a 4f conduction…
