Pressure Driven Fractionalization of Ionic Spins Results in Cupratelike High-$T_c$ Superconductivity in La${}_3$Ni${}_2$O${}_7$

Abstract

Beyond 14GPa of pressure, bi-layered La${}_3$Ni${}_2$O${}_7$ was recently found to develop strong superconductivity above the liquid nitrogen boiling temperature. An immediate essential question is the pressure-induced qualitative change of electronic structure that enables the exciting high-temperature superconductivity. We investigate this timely question via a numerical multi-scale derivation of effective many-body physics. At the atomic scale, we first clarify that the system has a strong charge transfer nature with itinerant carriers residing mainly in the in-plane oxygen between spin-1 Ni${}^{2+}$ ions. We then elucidate in eV- and sub-eV-scale the key physical effect of the applied pressure: It induces a cupratelike electronic structure through partially screening the Ni spin from 1 to 1/2. This suggests a high-temperature superconductivity in La${}_3$Ni${}_2$O${}_7$ with microscopic mechanism and ($d$-wave) symmetry similar to that in the cuprates.
