The recent discovery of superconductivity with a transition temperature $T_c$ over 40 K in La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ and (La,Pr)$_{3}$Ni$_2$O$_7$ thin films at ambient pressure marks an important step in the field of nickelate superconductors. Here, we perform a renormalized mean-field theory study of the superconductivity in $\mathrm{La_3Ni_2O_7}$ thin films, using a bilayer two-orbital $t-J$ model. Our result reveals an $s_\pm$-wave pairing symmetry driven by the strong interlayer superexchange coupling of $d_{z^2}$ orbital, resembling the pressurized bulk case. Also, we roughly reproduce the experimentally observed nodeless shape of the superconducting gap at the $\beta$ pocket and the superconducting $T_c$. In addition, by analysing the orbital-resolved pairing configurations and their projections onto Fermi surface, we find that the nodeless feature of $\beta$ pocket is related to the interlayer pairing within both $d_{z^2}$ and $d_{x^2-y^2}$ orbitals. Moreover, we identify a formation of the inplane inter-orbital $d$-wave pairing between $d_{z^2}$ and $d_{x^2-y^2}$ orbitals, which can even enhance the dominated interlayer $s_\pm$-wave. Our study particularly highlights the diverse relations of different pairing channels in $\mathrm{La_3Ni_2O_7}$ that holds a complex Fermi surface.

  1. What Does the Single-Particle Spectrum Imply on the Pairing Nature and Pairing Mechanism in La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$?

    cond-mat.str-el 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Symmetry analysis shows orbital hybridization vanishes along the BZ diagonal, allowing the gap on alpha/beta pockets to test d_x2-y2 vs d_z2 dominance; experiments and RPA favor Hund's rule mechanism with full gap.

    cond-mat.supr-con 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0

    In La3Ni2O7 thin films, the interlayer d3z2-r2 antiferromagnetic coupling is about 27% weaker than in bulk, in-plane coupling is nearly unchanged, and hole/electron doping is particle-hole asymmetric.

  3. Symmetry-Based Microscopic Theory of the Unconventional Pairing Mechanism in La$_5$Ni$_3$O$_{11}$

    cond-mat.supr-con 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    La5Ni3O11 superconductivity is predicted to be a two-gap s± state in the bilayer subsystem, with the T_c reduction tied to a reduced interlayer-to-intralayer hopping ratio.

    cond-mat.supr-con 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Position-dependent STM spectra in La2PrNi2O7 are computed from a two-orbital bilayer model, showing orbital-selective coherence peaks and impurity scattering that enable band identification.

    cond-mat.supr-con 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    RPA calculations predict strain-tunable superconductivity in 1313-La3Ni2O7 films, with s± pairing emerging under tensile strain when the γ pocket is optimally sized.

    Hole doping drives the pairing in strained 1-unit-cell La3Ni2O7 films from weak/nonexistent to a d_x2-y2 (then d_xy) wave, through intra-layer spin fluctuations within the γ pocket.
