Orbital-selective evolution toward superconductivity in nickelate thin films

Caption

Compressive strain and oxygen contents drive the electronic states associated with the Ni 3dz2 and O 2pz orbitals toward greater delocalization as (La,Pr)3Ni2O7−δ thin films evolve from a non-superconducting state toward superconductivity.
