The recent discovery of superconductivity in La3Ni2O7 thin films raises fundamental questions about the underlying pairing mechanisms and how their electronic structure differs from the bulk. Here, the authors present an effective model based on density functional theory, providing a theoretical framework to uncover the unique electronic and magnetic properties of these thin films.
