  • Descrição: In this paper, we report the phase diagram of infinite layer Pr1-xSrxNiO2 thin films synthesized via topotactic reduction from the perovskite precursor phase using CaH2. Based on the electrical transport properties, we find a doping-dependent superconducting dome extending between x = 0.12 and 0.28, with a maximum superconducting transition temperature Tc of 14 K at x = 0.18, bounded by weakly insulating behavior on both sides. In contrast to the narrower dome observed in Nd1–xSrxNiO2, a local Tc suppression near x = 0.2 was not observed for the Pr1-xSrxNiO2 system. Normal state Hall effect measurements indicate mixed carrier contributions of both electrons and holes, and show a sign change in the Hall coefficient as functions of temperature and x, quite similar to that in Nd1-xSrxNiO2. Also similar is the observation of a minimum in the normal state resistivity associated with the superconducting compositions. These findings indicate an infinite layer nickelate phase diagram that is relatively insensitive to the rare-earth element, but suggest that disorder arising from the variations of the ionic radii on the rare-earth site affects the superconducting dome.
