    Abstract

    The suppression of density wave in bilayer nickelate La3Ni2O7 under pressure has been identified as a critical factor enabling pressure-induced high-temperature superconductivity. However, this density wave state exhibits remarkable stability against most alternative tuning methods except the high-pressure technique. Herein through systematic investigations of Tb doping effects on electrical transport and magnetic properties, we observe a gradual suppression of density wave transition temperature with the increasing Tb concentration, accompanied by the emergence of negative magnetoresistance persisting up to 14 T. Magnetic susceptibility measurements further reveal the formation of a doping-induced spin-glass state, which likely accounts for the observed negative magnetoresistance phenomenon. This work establishes an effective chemical doping approach to manipulate the density wave state and correlated quantum state in La3Ni2O7, offering new insights into the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity and potential pathways toward achieving ambient-pressure superconductivity in bulk nickelate crystals.
