Abstract
Motivated by the recent rapid progress in high-ð‘‡ð‘ nickelate superconductors, we comprehensively study the physical properties of the alternating bilayer trilayer stacking nickelate La7â¢Ni5â¢O17. The high-symmetry phase of this material, without the tilting of oxygen octahedra, is not stable at ambient conditions but becomes stable under high pressure, where a small hole pocket ð›¾0, composed of the ð‘‘3â¢ð‘§2−ð‘Ÿ2 states in the trilayer sublattice, appears. This pocket was identified in our previous work for trilayer La4â¢Ni3â¢O10 as important to develop superconductivity. Moreover, using random-phase approximation calculations, we find a leading ð‘ ± pairing state for the high-symmetry phase under pressure with similar pairing strength as that obtained previously for the bilayer La3â¢Ni2â¢O7 compound, suggesting a similar or higher superconducting transition temperature ð‘‡ð‘, at the random-phase approximation level. In addition, we find that the dominant magnetic fluctuations in the system driving this pairing state have antiferromagnetic structure both in-plane and between the planes of the top and bottom trilayer and bilayer sublattices, while the middle trilayer is magnetically decoupled.
