Motivated by the recent discovery of superconductivity in infinite layer nickelates, the authors study the correlation and temperature phase diagram of LaNiO2 and NdNiO2, using embedded DMFT combined with DFT. Their study offers insight into the low-energy physics of the paramagnetic and magnetic states, shedding some light on the mechanism of superconductivity and lack of magnetic order in these systems.
