abstract
Effective models are constructed for a newly discovered superconductor (Nd,Sr)NiO2, which has been considered as a possible nickelate analogue of the cuprates owing to the d9 electron configuration. Estimation of the effective interaction, which turns out to require a multiorbital model that takes account of all the orbitals involved on the Fermi surface, shows that the effective interactions are significantly larger than in the cuprates. A fluctuation exchange study for the model indicates that dx2-y2-wave superconductivity is likely to occur as in the cuprates, where the transition temperature in the nickelate can be lower from the cuprates due to the larger interaction and narrower bandwidth.

The critical nature of the Ni spin state in doped NdNiO$_2$
An impurity exact-diagonalization model places NdNiO2's NiO2 layers at a singlet-triplet crossover, with a cuprate-like singlet hole state and superexchange about ten times smaller than in cuprates.
