Abstract: The discovery of superconductivity in square-planar nickelates has offered a rich materials platform to explore the origins of high-temperature superconductivity. However, experimental investigations have largely been limited to the infinite-layer RNiO2 (R, rare earth) nickelates. We constructed a phase diagram of multilayer square-planar Ndn+1NinO2n+2 compounds and found signatures of superconductivity for dimensionality n = 4 to 8. Upon decreasing n, the superconducting anisotropy evolves owing to 4f electron effects, and electronic structure characteristics approach cuprate-like behavior. Magnetic fluctuations persist from within the superconducting regime and into the overdoped, nonsuperconducting regime. The superconducting regime overlaps with that of chemically doped infinite-layer nickelates, demonstrating underlying commonalities as well as differences across varying structural realizations of square-planar nickelates. Our work establishes this layered template for creating new nickel-based superconductors. Editor's summary: Superconductivity in the nickelates, layered compounds with notable similarities to the cuprates, can be tuned by chemical doping and by applying pressure. Pan et al. used a different approach: varying the number of NdNiO2 layers (n) sandwiched between NdO2 layers, synthesizing a series of Ndn+1NinO2n+2 compounds. This structural tuning enabled the researchers to access a large range of behaviors, including that of cuprate-like materials at smaller n. —Jelena Stajic [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
