Ground-state oxygen holes and the metal–insulator transition in the negative charge-transfer rare-earth nickelates
The metal-insulator transition and the intriguing physical properties of rare-earth perovskite nickelates have attracted considerable attention in recent years. Nonetheless, a complete understanding of these materials remains elusive. Here we combine X-ray absorption and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) spectroscopies to resolve important aspects of the complex electronic structure of...
متن کاملSite-selective Mott transition in rare-earth-element nickelates.
A combination of density functional and dynamical mean field theory calculations are used to show that the remarkable metal-insulator transition in the rare-earth-element nickelate perovskites arises from a site-selective Mott phase, in which the d electrons on half of the Ni ions are localized to form a fluctuating moment while the d electrons on other Ni ions form a singlet with holes on the ...
متن کاملMultiferroicity in rare-earth nickelates RNiO3.
We show that charge ordered rare-earth nickelates of the type RNiO3 (R = Ho, Lu, Pr and Nd) are multiferroic with very large magnetically-induced ferroelectric (FE) polarizations. This we determine from first principles electronic structure calculations. The emerging FE polarization is directly tied to the long-standing puzzle of which kind of magnetic ordering is present in this class of mater...

They crystallize with the cubic CeCr^Abo type structure (Fd3m , Z = 8), which was refined from single-crystal diffractom eter data o f TbFeiZn^o (a = 1411.1(1) pm), Y Ru2Z n2o (a = 1422.6(1) pm), D yRu2Z n2o (a = 1422.1(1) pm), G dC o2Z n2o (a = 1406.0(1) p...
متن کاملPressure-induced metal-insulator and spin-state transition in low-valence layered nickelates
Ab initio calculations predict a metal-insulator transition at zero temperature to occur in La4Ni3O8 at moderate pressures as a result of a pressure-induced spin-state transition. The spin-state transition that is seen at 105 K at ambient pressure, from a low-temperature high-spin state to a high-temperature low-spin state, has been observed to be shifted to lower temperatures as pressure is ap...
