Evolution of the metallic state of LaNiO<sub>3</sub> with thickness as observed with β-detected NMR

POSTER

Abstract

A unique set of electronic and structural conditions allow for high-Tc superconductivity in the cuprates.
It has been postulated that LaNiO3/LaMO3 (M = Al, Ti, Ga) superlattices (SLs) could share enough of these properties to support a related superconducting state[1].
LaNiO3 is the only one of the rare-earth nickelates (RNiO3) that remains a paramagnetic metal at all temperatures.
Here, we present β-detected NMR measurements on LaNiO3/LaAlO3 SLs.
Specifically, we will address the evolution of the metallic phase of LaNiO3 with decreasing sample thickness.
