Abstract

Measurements of the magnetic susceptibility χ of nonsuperconducting (La_1-χSr_χ)₂NiO₄ (LSNO) with χ close to 0.5 between 5 and 700 K revealed the presence of a broad peak in the temperature dependence of χ as observed in superconducting (La_1-χSr_χ)₂CuO₄ (LSCO). The broad peak is attributed to the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic (2DAF) correlation between S = 1 2 spins of Ni³⁺ in the low-spin state. However, contrary to LSCO, the peak temperature, T_max, which is related to the correlation energy J, increases with χ for LSNO. In LSNO e_g electrons are distributed to the 3d_x²-_y² and 3d_z² orbitals, both of which are not completely occupied. A strong 2DAF correlation exists among Ni³⁺ spins in a (3d_x²-_y²)¹ configuration. With increasing χ, the fraction of Ni³⁺ ions in the (3d_x²-_y²)¹ configuration increases and the effective J increases. This overlap of the orbital levels appears to play an important role in the absence of superconductivity in LSNO.
