| contents | Trilayer Ruddlesden-Popper phase La4Ni3O10 has been observed with Tc of about 30 K at high pressure in recent experiment, which further expanded the family of nickelate superconductors. In this study, we explored the effects of electronic correlations in La4Ni3O10 using density function theory plus dynamical mean-field theory at ambient and high pressures. Our derived spectral functions and Fermi surface of ambient pressure phase are nicely consistent with the experimental results by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, which emphasized the importance of electronic correlations in La4Ni3O10. We also found the electronic correlations in pressured La4Ni3O10 are both orbital-dependent and layer-dependent due to the presence of Hund's rule coupling. There is a competition between the Hund's rule coupling and the crystal-field splitting, and therefore the Ni-O layers with weaker crystal-field splitting energy would have stronger electronic correlations. |
