Flat bands promoted by Hund's rule coupling in the candidate double-layer high-temperature superconductor La${}_3$Ni${}_2$O${}_7$

Abstract

We report strongly correlated electronic band structure calculations of the recently discovered double-layer high-temperature superconductor La${}_3$Ni${}_2$O${}_7$ under pressure. Our calculations reveal dual nature of Ni-$d$ electrons with almost localized $d_{z^2}$ orbitals due to onsite Coulomb repulsion and very flat hybridization bands of Ni-$d_{x^2-y^2}$ and Ni-$d_{z^2}$ quasiparticles near the Fermi energy. We find that the quasiparticle effective mass are greatly enhanced by the Hund's rule coupling and their lifetimes are inversely proportional to the temperature, which explains the experimentally observed strange metal behavior in the normal state. We also find strong antiferromagnetic spin correlations of Ni-$d$ electrons, which may provide the pairing force of quasiparticles for the high-temperature superconductivity. These give a potential explanation of two key observations in experiment and connect the superconducting La${}_3$Ni${}_2$O${}_7$ with cuprate high-temperature superconductors. The presence of flat bands and the interplay of orbital-selective Mott, Hund, and Kondo physics make La${}_3$Ni${}_2$O${}_7$ a unique platform for exploring rich emergent quantum many-body phenomena in the future.
