Abstract

The recent discovery of the superconductivity in the doped infinite layer nickelatesRNiO₂(R= La, Pr, Nd) is of great interest since the nickelates are isostructural to doped (Ca, Sr)CuO₂having superconducting transition temperature (T_c) of about 110 K. Verifying the commonalities and differences between these oxides will certainly give a new insight into the mechanism of highT_csuperconductivity in correlated electron systems. In this paper, we review experimental and theoretical works on this new superconductor and discuss the future perspectives for the 'nickel age' of superconductivity.

Keywords: infinite-layer nickelates; strongly-correlated materials; superconductivity.
