Recent progress in nickelate superconductors
The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
Core claim
The paper's central claim is stated in the introduction: the layers in multilayer nickelates are strongly coupled, indicating that superconductivity arises collectively in the multilayers. This distinguishes them from multilayer cuprates, where superconductivity primarily resides within individual CuO2 planes that are only weakly coupled. The review uses this lens to organize the field, from the 3d9 infinite-layer LaNiO2 (Tc up to ~40 K) to the pressure-induced superconductivity of the bilayer La3Ni2O7 (onset ~80 K in bulk, ~48 K in thin films) and trilayer La4Ni3O10 (~30–40 K). Along the way it cites bulk diamagnetic shielding above 90% in pressurized La2PrNi2O7 as the strongest evidence th
What carries the argument
The load-bearing object is the multilayer NiO2 block in the Ruddlesden-Popper phases, specifically the bilayer (327) and trilayer (43(10)) stack in which two or three NiO2 layers share apical oxygens. The apical-oxygen-mediated interlayer hopping splits the dz2-r2 orbital into bonding and antibonding states and, together with Jahn-Teller distortion, determines the low-energy two-orbital physics. This interlayer coupling is what makes the superconductivity collective rather than planar, and it is also what pressure and compressive strain act upon to stabilize the high-pressure (I4/mmm) phase where superconductivity emerges.
Load-bearing premise
The review's comparative picture rests on the assumption that the high-pressure superconductivity attributed to La3Ni2O7 is intrinsic to its bilayer HP phase, not an artifact of minority phases such as the 1313 intergrowth, whose own reported Tc may come from residual bilayer material.
What would settle it
A spatially resolved measurement (for example, scanning SQUID or micro-focused X-ray diffraction correlated with local diamagnetism on the same micrometer-scale sample region) that maps the diamagnetic response of 'La3Ni2O7' onto the HP bilayer crystal structure, and shows that the 1313 phase contributes none of the superconducting signal; or, conversely, shows that the 1313 phase alone reproduces the observed Tc, would settle whether the 327 superconductivity is intrinsic.
If this is right
- If the strong-interlayer-coupling picture is right, multilayer nickelates provide a genuinely new structural route to high-Tc superconductivity, distinct from the cuprate paradigm, and comparisons between the two families in the review's Table I become meaningful.
- The electronic-structure analysis implies that the interlayer dz2-r2 bonding/antibonding splitting—not just the in-plane dx2-y2 band—carries the pairing, so DFT-based predictions of Tc and pairing symmetry must reproduce the experimentally observed Fermi surface and its γ-pocket variation.
- The phase diagrams show that pressure and substrate strain are interchangeable tools: both stabilize the HP structure and its collective state, and both act on the same interlayer coupling, suggesting that ambient-pressure thin films can be systematically optimized.
- The density-wave orders (SDW/CDW) in 327 and 43(10) are intertwined with the superconducting phase, so a complete theory of nickelate superconductivity must explain how these orders are suppressed and/or coexist with SC as the HP structure is stabilized.
- The review's proposed 'genes' criterion—d-orbitals strongly hybridized with oxygen p-orbitals isolated near the Fermi energy—gives a concrete search principle for new high-Tc superconductors, if the nickelate family indeed fits it.
Where Pith is reading between the lines
- If strong interlayer coupling is the essential variable, then single-layer nickelates are the wrong cousins for cuprates; the field's most informative next experiments will compare bilayer, trilayer, and quintuple-layer (e.g., Nd6Ni5O12) members to map Tc as a function of layer count and interlayer hybridization.
- The unresolved status of the γ Fermi-surface pocket could be tested directly by combining ARPES with local structural probes on the same film: if higher-Tc samples lack the γ pocket, theoretical models that invoke it as the key driver would be ruled out.
- The 1313-phase ambiguity suggests that some reported transport signatures of '327' superconductivity may be contaminated by minority layers; a spatially resolved measurement mapping superconductivity onto the HP bilayer structure would separate intrinsic from intergrowth contributions.
- The strain-thin-film route may allow the collective-state hypothesis to be tested without high pressure, e.g., by measuring the superconducting condensation energy or gap structure in La2PrNi2O7 films as a function of bilayer thickness, which the paper does not explicitly propose.

Referee Report
Summary. This manuscript is a review of recent progress in nickelate superconductors, covering the infinite-layer 112 system (hole-doped LaNiO2), the bilayer 327 system (La3Ni2O7), the trilayer 43(10) system (La4Ni3O10), and related multilayer compounds. It summarizes experimental phase diagrams, transport and magnetic properties, electronic structure, density-wave order, thin-film work, and theoretical proposals, and closes with a perspective on open challenges. A central comparative claim, stated in the Introduction, is that multilayer nickelates differ fundamentally from cuprates because their layers are strongly coupled and superconductivity arises collectively in the multilayers.
Significance. If the underlying phase attributions are sound, this review provides a useful and timely synthesis of a rapidly moving field. Its strengths include broad coverage of the 112, 327, and 43(10) families, explicit acknowledgement of sample-quality limitations, inclusion of recent ARPES and high-pressure results, and a comparative table that will be useful to researchers. The authors are also candid that several key issues, including the magnetic structure of 327 and the role of oxygen vacancies, remain unresolved. However, the binary load-bearing claim that multilayer nickelates constitute a distinct family with collective interlayer superconductivity rests on the attribution of the ~80 K high-pressure phase to the bilayer HP structure of La3Ni2O7. That attribution is not secured by the evidence cited in the review, and the associated uncertainty is not minor; it directly affects the phase diagram in Fig. 5 and the comparison in Table I.
major comments (3)
- [III.A and Fig. 5(d)] The claim that bulk high-pressure superconductivity is established for the HP bilayer phase rests on measurements of La2PrNi2O7, not La3Ni2O7. The text states that the debate on diamagnetism 'has been substantially addressed' by experiments on La2PrNi2O7 with >90% shielding fraction, but La2PrNi2O7 is a different compound and does not resolve phase purity in La3Ni2O7 itself. The review cites refs [57,58] as evidence of the debate, and those works report 1313 intergrowths in La3Ni2O7. No quantification of intergrowth fractions in the superconducting samples, nor a direct correlation between bilayer phase fraction and superconducting volume in La3Ni2O7, is provided. Because Fig. 5(a) and the family comparison in Table I presuppose that the ~80 K phase is intrinsic to the HP bilayer, this is a load-bearing point. The authors should either provide direct phase-purity evidence for La3Ni2O7 or
- [IV.B] The reasoning that 1313-phase superconductivity 'originates from residual bilayer La3Ni2O7' is circular in the context of this review. The argument is that because La4Ni3O10 has Tc~30 K, the ~80 K signal in the 1313 phase must come from residual bilayer material. This assumes the very bilayer attribution that the previous sections leave open. If, instead, minority 1313 (or other intergrowth) phases are responsible for the high-Tc signal in nominally 327 samples, then the 'collective bilayer' interpretation in the Introduction is unsupported. The statement should be framed as one hypothesis among others, and the review should provide concrete evidence—for example, phase fraction measurements correlated with the superconducting transition—before using it to dismiss the intrinsic 1313 scenario.
- [I and III.E] The Introduction's 'important point'—that multilayer nickelates are fundamentally different from cuprates because superconductivity arises collectively in strongly coupled layers—is stated as a conclusion rather than as a hypothesis. The subsequent discussion in Section III.B provides a plausible electronic-structure basis for strong interlayer coupling, and Section III.E summarizes competing theoretical frameworks. However, the collective-superconductivity claim is not directly demonstrated by the reviewed experiments, and its validity depends on the unresolved phase-attribution issues raised above. The authors should soften this statement to a perspective or explicit hypothesis, or supply a dedicated argument that does not assume the bilayer attribution.
minor comments (5)
- [Fig. 5(d) caption] The caption reads 'La2PrNi3O7' but the text and the cited reference refer to La2PrNi2O7. Fix the compound formula.
- [Table I] Table I lists Tc~40 K for La4Ni3O10, but the text in Section IV.A states that the superconducting onset reaches around 30 K. The numbers should be consistent.
- [Sec. IV.B] The text mentions '5-layer Nd6Ni5O12' and 'd8.8 electron filling.' Earlier in the same paragraph the reduced compound is identified as Nd6Ni5O10. Please verify the correct formula and superscript notation against the original reference, as the current wording is confusing.
- [Sec. III.D] The sentence 'Our DFT calculations reveal that the Jahn–Teller distortion is more sensitive to structural changes than interlayer coupling' presents an original, unreferenced computational result in the middle of a review. Either remove it, provide method details, or cite a published source.
- [Sec. V] The concluding bullet on the 'genes' framework asserts consistency with the authors' own framework (refs [123,124]) without explaining the criterion. A one-sentence description of the framework would make the statement informative to readers unfamiliar with it.
Circularity Check
The review is largely an independent summary of experimental and theoretical work; one local circular argument in the 1313-phase discussion and minor self-citations do not reduce the central claims.

[Section IV.B (Other Multilayer Nickelates), paragraph on the 1313 phase, around Fig. 11(c)]
"Previous high-pressure transport measurements indicate the potential for high-temperature superconductivity in the 1313 phase, with an onset transition temperature of around 80 K. However, considering that the Tc of the trilayer compound La4Ni3O10 is only around 30 K, it is likely that the observed superconductivity in the 1313 phase originates from residual bilayer La3Ni2O7, which is inevitably present in the 1313."
The review uses this inference to neutralize the competing explanation that the ~80 K superconductivity observed in nominally bilayer La3Ni2O7 samples could come from minority 1313 intergrowths. The inference '1313's SC originates from residual bilayer La3Ni2O7' presupposes that the bilayer phase is intrinsically the ~80 K superconductor—the very attribution that Section III.A says is debated (refs [57,58]). The observed Tc~30 K of trilayer La4Ni3O10 does not rule out an intrinsic 80 K SC in the alternating monolayer-trilayer 1313 structure; the conclusion is forced by assuming the bilayer attribution. This is circular in the phase-attribution chain that underlies the review's comparative framing, although the review separately cites La2PrNi2O7 bulk screening and thin-film SC as independen
full rationale
The manuscript is a review, not a derivation of new predictions. There are no fitted parameters being relabeled as predictions, no uniqueness theorems imported from the authors, and no ansatz smuggled in via citation. The central comparative claim—that multilayer nickelates are strongly coupled and superconductivity arises collectively—is supported by independent experimental results (La2PrNi2O7 bulk shielding, 327 thin-film superconductivity, ARPES, neutron/NMR/RIXS studies) and by a large literature of theory papers from many groups. The authors' self-citations (refs [45,67,68,123,124]) are used for specific electronic-structure calculations and for the 'genes' framework, but the review does not rest its experimental conclusions on those citations; it explicitly notes that DFT results are method-dependent and need experimental justification. The one genuine circular step is the 1313-phase argument, which assumes the bilayer attribution to dismiss the 1313 intergrowth as the source of the 80 K signal. This is a local logical circularity, and the review itself flags the conclusion as 'likely' and the phase's properties as open questions. The phase-purity concern for La3Ni2O7 itself is a correctness risk rather than a definitional circularity, because the bulk-superconductivity evidence is extrapolated from La2PrNi2O7. Overall the review's main content retains independent value; the circularity score is elevated only by the 1313 argument and minor self-citation presence.

The discovery of superconductivity in nickelate compounds has opened new avenues in the study of high-temperature superconductors. Here we provide a comprehensive overview of recent progress in the field, including all different nickelate systems, reduced-Ruddlesden-Popper-type infinite layer LaNiO$_2$, Ruddlesden-Popper-type bilayer La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ and trilayer La$_4$Ni$_3$O$_{10}$. We begin by introducing the superconducting properties of the hole-doped LaNiO$_2$ system, which marked the starting point for nickelate superconductivity. We then turn to the bilayer La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ system, discussing both its high-pressure and thin-film superconducting phases. This is followed by an examination of the trilayer La$_4$Ni$_3$O$_{10}$ system and other related multilayer nickelates. Throughout the review, we highlight emerging trends, key challenges, and open questions. We conclude by addressing current limitations in materials synthesis and characterization, and future directions that may help uncover the mechanisms driving superconductivity in these complex oxide systems.
