Abstract

Motivated by the recent rapid progress in high- nickelate superconductors, we comprehensively study the physical properties of the alternating bilayer trilayer stacking nickelate LaNiO. The high-symmetry phase of this material, without the tilting of oxygen octahedra, is not stable at ambient conditions but becomes stable under high pressure, where a small hole pocket , composed of the states in the trilayer sublattice, appears. This pocket was identified in our previous work for trilayer LaNiO as important to develop superconductivity. Moreover, using random-phase approximation calculations, we find a leading pairing state for the high-symmetry phase under pressure with similar pairing strength as that obtained previously for the bilayer LaNiO compound, suggesting a similar or higher superconducting transition temperature . In addition, we find that the dominant magnetic fluctuations in the system driving this pairing state have antiferromagnetic structure both in-plane and between the planes of the top and bottom trilayer and bilayer sublattices, while the middle trilayer is magnetically decoupled.
