Effects of pressure and doping on Ruddlesden-Popper phases Lan+1 Nin O3n+1

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2023.11.011

Abstract

Abstract: Recently, the discovery of superconductivity with a critical temperature T_c up to 80 K in Ruddlesden-Popper phases La_n₊₁Ni_nO₃_n₊₁ (n = 2) under pressure has garnered considerable attention. Up to now, the superconductivity was only observed in La₃Ni₂O₇ single crystal grown with the optical-image floating zone furnace under oxygen pressure. It remains to be understood the effect of chemical doping on superconducting La₃Ni₂O₇ as well as other Ruddlesden-Popper phases. Here, we systematically investigate the effect of external pressure and chemical doping on polycrystalline Ruddlesden-Popper phases. Our results demonstrate that the application of pressure and doping effectively tunes the transport properties of Ruddlesden-Popper phases. We find pressure-induced superconductivity up to 86 K in La₃Ni₂O₇ polycrystalline sample, while no signatures of superconductivity are observed in La₂NiO₄ and La₄Ni₃O₁₀ polycrystalline samples under high pressure up to 50 GPa. Our study sheds light on the exploration of high-T_c superconductivity in nickelates.
