Title: Charge ordering in Ni 1 + / Ni 2 + nickelates: La 4 Ni 3 O 8 and La 3 Ni 2 O 6

Abstract

Ab initio calculations allow us to establish a close connection between the Ruddlesden-Popper layered nickelates and cuprates not only in terms of filling of d levels (close to d9) but also because they show Ni1+(S = 1/2)/Ni2+(S = 0) stripe ordering. We obtained the insulating charge-ordered ground state from a combination of structural distortions and magnetic order. The Ni2+ ions are in a low-spin configuration (S = 0) yielding an antiferromagnetic arrangement of Ni1+ S = 1/2 ions like the long-sought spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic insulator analog of the cuprate parent materials. Furthermore, the analogy extends further with the main contribution to the bands near the Fermi energy coming from hybridized Ni d$$_x$$2-$$_y$$2 and O $$p$$ states.
