abstract = {We propose a simple theoretical description of the
metal-insulator transition of rare-earth nickelates.
Thetheory involves only two orbitals per nickel site,
corresponding to the low-energy antibonding $e_g$ states. In
themonoclinic insulating state, bond-length
disproportionation splits the manifold of $e_g$ bands,
corresponding to a modulation of the effective on-site
energy. We show that, when subject to a local Coulomb
repulsion $U$ and Hund’s coupling $J$, the resulting
bond-disproportionated state is a paramagnetic insulator for
a wide range of interaction parameters. Furthermore, we find
that when $U − 3 J$ is small or negative, a spontaneous
instability to bond disproportionation takes place for large
enough $J$. This minimal theory emphasizes that a small or
negativecharge-transfer energy, a large Hund’s coupling,
and a strong coupling to bond disproportionation are the key
factors underlying the transition. Experimental consequences
of this theoretical picture are discussed.},
