Turning a nickelate Fermi surface into a cuprate-like one through heterostructuring — •Philipp Hansmann^{1, 2}, Xiaoping Yang¹, Alessandro Toschi², Giniyat Khaliullin¹, Ole Krogh Andersen¹, and Karsten Held² — ¹Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, Stuttgart, Germany — ²Institute of Solid State Physics, Vienna University of Technology, Austria

Using the local density approximation and its combination with dynamical mean field theory, we show that electronic correlations induce a single sheet cuprate-like Fermi surface for LaNiO₃/LaAlO₃ heterostructures, even though both e_g orbitals contribute to it. This is possible because the correlations shift one of the two sheets above the Fermi level. As there are also strong antiferromagnetic fluctuations, the low-energy electronic and spin excitations resemble those of high-temperature cuprate superconductors.
