Abstract

Motivated by the recently discovered high- bilayer nickelate superconductor LaNiO, we comprehensively research a bilayer cluster for different electronic densities by using the Lanczos method. We also employ the random-phase approximation to quantify the first magnetic instability with increasing Hubbard coupling strength, also varying . Based on the spin structure factor , we have obtained a rich magnetic phase diagram in the plane defined by and , at fixed Hund coupling. We have observed numerous states, such as A-AFM, Stripes, G-AFM, and C-AFM. For half-filling (two electrons per Ni site, corresponding to = 16 electrons), the canonical superexchange interaction leads to a robust G-AFM state with antiferromagnetic couplings in plane and between layers. By increasing or decreasing electronic densities, ferromagnetic tendencies emerge from the ``half-empty'' and ``half-full'' mechanisms, leading to many other interesting magnetic tendencies. In addition, the spin-spin correlations become weaker both in the hole or electron doping regions compared with half-filling. At (or ), density corresponding to LaNiO, we obtained the ``Stripe 2'' ground state (antiferromagnetic coupling in one in-plane direction, ferromagnetic coupling in the other, and antiferromagnetic coupling along the -axis) in the cluster. In addition, we obtained a much stronger AFM coupling along the -axis than the magnetic coupling in the plane. The random-phase approximation calculations with varying give very similar results as Lanczos. Meanwhile, a state with close to the E-phase wavevector is found in our RPA calculations by slightly reducing the filling to , possibly responsible for the E-phase SDW recently observed in experiments.
