Intertwined density waves in a metallic nickelate

Abstract

Nickelates are a rich class of materials, ranging from insulating magnets to superconductors. But for stoichiometric materials, insulating behavior is the norm, as for most late transition metal oxides. Notable exceptions are the 3D perovskite LaNiO${}_3$, an unconventional paramagnetic metal, and the layered Ruddlesden-Popper phases R${}_4$Ni${}_3$O${}_{10}$, (R=La, Pr, Nd). The latter are particularly intriguing because they exhibit an unusual metal-to-metal transition. Here, we demonstrate that this transition results from an incommensurate density wave with both charge and magnetic character that lies intermediate in behavior between the metallic density wave seen in chromium metal and the insulating stripes typically found in layered nickelates. As such, R${}_4$Ni${}_3$O${}_{10}$, which appears to be the first known example of an itinerant spin density wave in a 3d transition metal oxide, represents an important bridge between the paramagnetism of 3D metallic LaNiO${}_3$ at higher nickel valence and the polaronic behavior of quasi-2D R${}_{2-x}$Sr${}_x$NiO${}_4$ at lower nickel valence.
