Structural instabilities of infinite-layer nickelates from first-principles simulations

Rare-earth nickelates RNiO_{2} adopting an infinite-layer phase show superconductivity once La, Pr, or Nd is substituted by a divalent cation. Either in the pristine or doped form, these materials are reported to adopt a high-symmetry, perfectly symmetric, P_{4}/mmm tetragonal cell. Nevertheless, bu...
