  2. Book ; Online: Role of crystal-field-splitting and longe-range-hoppings on superconducting pairing symmetry of La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$

    Abstract We study the bilayer two-orbital model for superconducting pairing symmetry of La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ under pressure. By combining density-functional-theory (DFT), maximally-localized-Wannier-function, and linearized Eliashberg equation with random-phase-approximation, we find that the superconducting pairing symmetry of La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ is robustly $d_{xy}$ if its DFT band structure is accurately reproduced in the downfolded model. We further show that fine-tuning of crystal-field-splitting between two Ni-$e_g$ orbitals qualitatively affects superconducting pairing symmetry of the bilayer two-orbital model, which changes from $d_{xy}$ to $s_{\pm}$ as the crystal-field-splitting exceeds a critical value. When the model only includes nearest-neighbor and second-nearest-neighbor hoppings, the crystal-field-splitting obtained by fitting to the DFT band structure is larger than the critical value and thus leads to $s_{\pm}$ superconducting pairing symmetry. When all nonzero long-range-hoppings are also included in the model, the fitted crystal-field-splitting is reduced and smaller than the critical value, which makes $d_{xy}$ superconducting pairing symmetry more favorable than $s_{\pm}$ symmetry. Our work demonstrates that in downfolded effective models, the details of band structure can play a crucial role in determining pairing symmetry in multi-orbital unconventional superconductors (such as La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$).

    Abstract Complex oxides exhibit many intriguing phenomena, including metal-insulator transition, ferroelectricity/multiferroicity, colossal magnetoresistance and high transition temperature superconductivity. Advances in epitaxial thin film growth techniques enable us to combine different complex oxides with atomic precision and form an oxide heterostructure. Recent theoretical and experimental work has shown that charge transfer across oxide interfaces generally occurs and leads to a great diversity of emergent interfacial properties which are not exhibited by bulk constituents. In this report, we review mechanisms and physical consequence of charge transfer across interfaces in oxide heterostructures. Both theoretical proposals and experimental measurements of various oxide heterostructures are discussed and compared. We also review the theoretical methods that are used to calculate charge transfer across oxide interfaces and discuss the success and challenges in theory. Finally, we present a summary and perspectives for future research.

    Abstract The superior size and power scaling potential of ferroelectric-gated Mott transistors makes them promising building blocks for developing energy-efficient memory and logic applications in the post-Moore's Law era. The close to metallic carrier density in the Mott channel, however, imposes the bottleneck for achieving substantial field effect modulation via a solid-state gate. Previous studies have focused on optimizing the thickness, charge mobility, and carrier density of single-layer correlated channels, which have only led to moderate resistance switching at room temperature. Here, we report a record high nonvolatile resistance switching ratio of 38,440% at 300 K in a prototype Mott transistor consisting of a ferroelectric PbZr

    Abstract A charge order (CO) with a wavevector $\mathbf{q}\simeq\left(\frac{1}{3},0,0\right)$ is observed in infinite-layer nickelates. Here we use first-principles calculations to demonstrate a charge-transfer-driven CO mechanism in infinite-layer nickelates, which leads to a characteristic Ni$^{1+}$-Ni$^{2+}$-Ni$^{1+}$ stripe state. For every three Ni atoms, due to the presence of near-Fermi-level conduction bands, Hubbard interaction on Ni-$d$ orbitals transfers electrons on one Ni atom to conduction bands and leaves electrons on the other two Ni atoms to become more localized. We further derive a low-energy effective model to elucidate that the CO state arises from a delicate competition between Hubbard interaction on Ni-$d$ orbitals and charge transfer energy between Ni-$d$ orbitals and conduction bands. With physically reasonable parameters, $\mathbf{q}=\left(\frac{1}{3},0,0\right)$ CO state is more stable than uniform paramagnetic state and usual checkerboard antiferromagnetic state. Our work highlights the multi-band nature of infinite-layer nickelates, which leads to some distinctive correlated properties that are not found in cuprates.

    Abstract Polar metals, especially those containing oxygen, are rare. Unlike ferroelectrics, using electric fields to switch polar displacements in a polar metal is difficult because applying a voltage creates an electric current in metals. Here we combine first-principles calculations and crystal structure search method to design a new polar metal and demonstrate 180$^{\circ}$ electric-field switching of its polar displacements. We find that with two stereochemically active ions that have different valences, ordered BiPbTi$_2$O$_6$ can crystallize in three polar and conducting structures, each of which can be transformed to another via pressure or strain. Furthermore, we show that by interfacing the layered structure of BiPbTi$_2$O$_6$ with ferroelectrics, an electric-field switching of the in-plane polarization of ferroelectrics leads to 180$^{\circ}$ flipping of the in-plane polar displacements of BiPbTi$_2$O$_6$. Our work provides new design principles for polar metals whose polar displacements can be switched by electric fields via an interfacial coupling.

    Abstract We use first-principles calculations to find that in infinite-layer nickelates $R$NiO$_2$, the widely studied tetragonal $P4/mmm$ structure is only dynamically stable for early lanthanide elements $R$ = La-Sm. For late lanthanide elements $R$ = Eu-Lu, an imaginary phonon frequency appears at $A=(\pi,\pi,\pi)$ point. For those infinite-layer nickelates, condensation of this phonon mode into the $P4/mmm$ structure leads to a more energetically favorable $I4/mcm$ structure that is characterized by an out-of-phase rotation of "NiO$_4$ square". Special attention is given to two borderline cases: PmNiO$_2$ and SmNiO$_2$, in which both the $P4/mmm$ structure and the $I4/mcm$ structure are local minima and the energy difference between the two structures can be fine-tuned by epitaxial strain. Compared to the $P4/mmm$ structure, $R$NiO$_2$ in the $I4/mcm$ structure has a substantially reduced Ni $d_{x^2-y^2}$ bandwidth, a smaller Ni $d$ occupancy, a "cleaner" Fermi surface with a lanthanide-$d$-derived electron pocket suppressed at $\Gamma$ point, and a decreased critical $U_{\textrm{Ni}}$ to stabilize long-range antiferromagnetic ordering. All these features imply enhanced correlation effects and favor Mott physics. Our work reveals the importance of structure-property relation in infinite-layer nickelates, in particular, the spontaneous "NiO$_4$ square" rotation provides a tuning knob to render $R$NiO$_2$ in the $I4/mcm$ structure a closer analogy to superconducting infinite-layer cuprates.
