Three-dimensional bond-order instability in infinite-layer nickelates due to nonlocal quantum interference

Abstract

Recently discovered superconducting infinite-layer nickelates NiO (=Nd, La, Pr) attracts increasing attention as a similar system to cuprates. Both NiO and YBCO cuprates display the three-dimensional (3D) CDW with wave vector , while is non-zero and incommensurate in the former system. Here, we reveal that the characteristic CDW in NiO can be naturally explained as the quantum interference between paramagnons, by focusing on the following characteristics of NiO: (i) prominent three-dimensionality in the Fermi surface and (ii) large self-hole-doping (%). This mechanism predicts the emergence of the -wave bond order at a secondary 3D nesting vector . The obtained strong bond fluctuations lead to the non-Fermi liquid electronic states and superconducting states in nickelates.
