Electronic and Structural Properties of LaNiO₃-Based Heterostructures

Electronic and Structural Properties of LaNiO₃-Based Heterostructures

This thesis explores an amazing family of oxide compounds - the nickelates - known for their metal-to-insulator transition and, in the case of LaNiO3, to be a possible building block for designing a synthetic high Tc superconductor. Competition between various fascinating phases makes these material...
