Pressure induced redistribution of oxygen hole states in LaNiO

Guiwen Jiang, Liang Si, George A. Sawatzky +1

Using density functional calculations and multi-orbital, multi-atom cluster exact diagonalization that includes local exchange and Coulomb interactions, we explored the local low-e…

Disentangling the contributions of individual cations to magnetic order in a spinel high entropy oxide

Mario Ulises González-Rivas, Chun-Fu Chang, Martin Bluschke +8

High entropy oxides (HEOs) can possess long-range ordered magnetic states despite their extreme chemical disorder. Very little is known about how the different chemical constituent…

Charge distribution and magnetism in bilayer LaNiO: a hybrid functional study

Kateryna Foyevtsova, Ilya Elfimov, George A. Sawatzky

An accurate understanding of the ground state electronic properties of LaNiO, a high-temperature superconductor under pressure, is key for unveiling the origin of its s…

Percolative Pathway to Stripe Order in KTaO3-Based Superconductivity

Zhihao Chen, Chun Sum Brian Pang, Meng Yang +8

The sensitivity of low dimensional superconductors to fluctuations gives rise to emergent behaviors beyond the conventional Bardeen Cooper Schrieffer framework. Anisotropy is one s…

Universal electronic structure of multi-layered nickelates via oxygen-centered planar orbitals

Christine C. Au-Yeung, X. Chen, S. Smit +17

Superconductivity has been demonstrated in the family of multi-layered nickelates LaNiO and LaNiO. Key questions remain open regarding the low-energy ele…

Atomic and bond polarization causing strong screening of short-range Coulomb interactions and its effect in cuprate superconductors

Nassim Derriche, George Sawatzky

We present a novel and efficient real space, semiclassical model of electric polarization with general applicability to any system in which screening plays an important role. This…
