Abstract:
Infinite-layer Nd_{1-x}Sr_{x}NiO_{2} thin films with Sr doping level x from 0.08 to 0.3 are synthesized and investigated. We find a superconducting dome x between 0.12 and 0.235 accompanied by a weakly insulating behavior in both under- and overdoped regimes. The dome is akin to that in the electron-doped 214-type and infinite-layer cuprate superconductors. For x≥0.18, the normal state Hall coefficient (R_{H}) changes the sign from negative to positive as the temperature decreases. The temperature of the sign changes decreases monotonically with decreasing x from the overdoped side and approaches the superconducting dome at the midpoint, suggesting a reconstruction of the Fermi surface with the dopant concentration across the dome.

In this theory, Newton's second law of motion is used to determine the acceleration of an electron in the presence of an applied electric field. Then, its velocity is expressed via this acceleration.
