In the (experimentally inaccessible) AFM ordered phase, a Ni d(z2) flat band exactly lying at the Fermi energy appears on the entire kz=π/c zone faces, leading to a 1D-like van Hove singularity (vHs). This vHs supports spin, charge, and lattice instabilities. However, these symmetry-breaking orders are not observed, since the magnetic ordering and structural instabilities may be overcome by thermal or quantum zero-point motions of oxygen and non-adiabatic electron-lattice coupling due to the narrowness of the vHs. Our results from first principles approach indicate that this strongly AFM correlated and conducting spin-liquid phase with significantly involved Ni d(z2) orbital establishes the platform for superconductivity in the hole-doped NdNiO2.
