We report the observation of superconductivity in infinite-layer Ca-doped LaNiO$_2$ (La$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$NiO$_2$) thin films and construct their phase diagram. Unlike the metal-insulator transition in Nd- and Pr-based nickelates, the undoped…
Nickelate superconductors provide a valuable new platform for the study of unconventional superconductivity that is complementary to the cuprates. One of the central puzzles about high-temperature superconductors is what factors determine…
The rare-earth nickelates are a rich playground for transport properties, known to host non-Fermi liquid character, resistance saturation and metal-insulator transitions. We report a study of transport in LaNiO3 in the presence of tunable…
The metal-hydride-based topochemical reduction process has produced novel thermodynamically unstable phases across various transition metal oxide series with unusual crystal structures and non-trivial ground states. Here, by such an oxygen…
We study the magnetic and spectral properties of a single-band Hubbard model for the infinite-layer nickelate compound LaNiO$_2$. As spatial correlations turn out to be the key ingredient for understanding its physics, we use two…
We use first-principles calculations to find that in infinite-layer nickelates $R$NiO$_2$, the widely studied tetragonal $P4/mmm$ structure is only dynamically stable for early lanthanide elements $R$ = La-Sm. For late lanthanide elements…
Lattice compression has emerged as a fundamental tuning parameter for nickelate superconductivity. Pressure acts as a trigger to induce superconductivity in bulk Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates. For infinite-layer nickelate thin films,…

The discovery of unconventional superconductivity in hole doped NdNiO2, similar to CaCuO2, has received enormous attention. However, different from CaCuO2, RNiO2 (R = Nd, La) has itinerant electrons in the rare-earth spacer layer. Previous…

Through CaH2 chemical reduction of a parent R3+Ni3+O3 perovskite form, superconductivity was recently achieved in Sr-doped NdNiO2 on SrTiO3 substrate. Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we find that stoichiometric NdNiO2 is…

The family of infinite-layer nickelates promises important insights into the mechanism of unconventional superconductivity. Since superconductivity has so far only been observed in epitaxial thin films, heteroepitaxy with the substrate or a…
