Exploring the phase diagram of La<sub>x</sub>Nd<sub>1-x</sub>NiO<sub>3</sub> thin films

ORAL

Abstract

In this study we present a series of results on thin films of LaxNd1-xNiO3. The phase diagram spanned by this mixed nickelate compound extends from metallic, paramagnetic and rhombohedral LaNiO3 for x = 1 to NdNiO3, a orthorhombic perovskite with a metal-charge transfer insulator transition for x = 0.
The evolution of the structural and electronic properties are traced across this phase diagram in an effort to understand the onset of the metal-insulator transition for which the nickelate family has become so famous.
