Layered nickel-oxide compounds have garnered significant attention since the discovery of superconductivity in this class of materials. The physical properties of layered nickelates originate from a complex interplay between strong local Coulomb correlations, spatial collective electronic fluctuations, orbital degrees of freedom, and a non-trivial band structure. Until now, even the most advanced numerical calculations could not account for all these important effects simultaneously.
In this talk we present results of accurate many-body D-TRILEX calculations for the layered NdNiO2 compound at stoichiometry and upon hole doping [arXiv:2311.09983 (2023)] performed in the framework of an ab-initio three-orbital model. Our calculations demonstrate that both spatial collective electronic fluctuations and orbital degrees of freedom are equally important. Considering both these effects in a self-consistent manner results in a strong momentum- and orbital-dependent renormalization of the electronic spectral function. This renormalization favors the formation of the charge density wave ordering, which originates from the intraband correlations within the Ni-dz2 orbital. We also find that the system displays strong antiferromagnetic fluctuations that stem from the Ni-dx2−y2 orbital.
