This research investigates the structural, topological, electrical and optical properties of pulsed laser deposited polycrystalline BiFeO3 thin films on silicon and glass substrate at varying deposition temperatures ranging from 400 degC to…

Manganite thin films are promising candidates for studying the strongly correlated electron systems. Understanding the growth-and morphology-driven changes in the physical properties of manganite thin films is vital for their applications…

As a member of the Ruddlesden-Popper Ln$_{n+1}$Ni$_n$O$_{3n+1}$ series rare-earth-nickelates, the Pr4Ni$_3$O$_{10}$ consists of infinite quasi-two-dimensional perovskite-like Ni-O based layers. Although a metal-to-metal phase transition at…

For most metals, increasing temperature (T) or disorder will quicken electron scattering. This hypothesis informs the Drude model of electronic conductivity. However, for so-called bad metals this predicts scattering times so short as to…

Strongly correlated materials often respond sensitively to the external perturbations. In the recently discovered superconducting infinite-layer nickelates, the superconducting transition temperature can be dramatically enhanced via only…

We report evidence for superconductivity with onset temperatures up to 11 K in thin films of the infinite-layer nickelate parent compound NdNiO$_2$. A combination of oxide molecular-beam epitaxy and atomic hydrogen reduction yields samples…

The observation of superconductivity in infinite layer nickelate (Nd,Sr)NiO$_{2}$ thin films has led to rapid theoretical and experimental investigations of these copper-oxide-analogue systems [1-15]. Superconductivity has also been found…

Although rare earth nickelates (ReNiO3) exhibit abundant electronic phases and widely adjustable metal to insulator electronic transition properties, their practical electronic applications are largely impeded by their intrinsic meta…

Rare earth nickelates RENiO3 which attract interest due to their sharp metal-insulator phase transition, are instable in bulk form due to the necessity of an important oxygen pressure to stabilize Ni in its 3+ state of oxidation. Here, we…

Nickelates are known for their metal to insulator transition (MIT) and an unusual magnetic ordering, occurring at T=T_N\'eel. Here, we investigate thin films of SmNiO_3 subjected to different levels of epitaxial strain. We find that the…

Sr-doped nickelate, Nd1-xSrxNiO3 (NSNO), perovskite thin films and Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) phases are actively investigated because of their physical properties, such as the metal-insulator transition and superconductivity. However,…

Nb-doped SrTiO$_{3}$ epitaxial thin films have been prepared on (001) SrTiO$_{3}$ substrates using pulsed laser deposition. A high substrate temperature ($>1000^{\circ}{C}$) was found to be necessary to achieve 2-dimensional growth. Atomic…

The recent observation of superconductivity in Nd$_{0.8}$Sr$_{0.2}$NiO$_{2}$ calls for further investigation and optimization of the synthesis of this metastable infinite-layer nickelate structure. Here, we present our current understanding…

Nickelates are a rich class of materials, ranging from insulating magnets to superconductors. But for stoichiometric materials, insulating behavior is the norm, as for most late transition metal oxides. Notable exceptions are the 3D…

Based on first-principles calculations including a Coulomb repulsion term, we identify trends in the electronic reconstruction of $A$NiO$_2$/SrTiO$_3$(001) ($A=$ Pr, La) and $A$CuO$_2$/SrTiO$_3$(001) ($A=$ Ca, Sr). Common to all cases is…

The recent discovery of superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelate films has aroused great interest since it provides a new platform to explore the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity. However, superconductivity only appears…

The nature of the metal insulator transition in thin films and superlattices of LaNiO3 with only few unit cells in thickness remains elusive despite tremendous effort. Quantum confinement and epitaxial strain have been evoked as the…

Nickelate superconductors, ${R_{1-x}}{A_x}Ni{O_2}$ (where R is a rare earth metal and A = Sr, Ca), experimentally discovered in 2019 exhibit many unexplained mysteries as the existence of a superconducting state with $T_c$ up to 18 K in…

The discovery of superconductivity in bulk Ruddlesden-Popper La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$(LNO327) under high hydrostatic pressure has redefined the recent experimental consensus that nickelate superconductivity is restricted to systems with a $3d^9$…

The recent discovery of superconductivity in Sr-doped NdNiO$_2$ films grown on SrTiO$_3$ started a novel field within unconventional superconductivity. To understand the similarities and differences between nickelate and cuprate layers on…
