Abstract

We have synthesized epitaxial NdNiO3 ultrathin films in a layer-by-layer growth mode under tensile and compressive strain on SrTiO3 (001) and LaAlO3 (001), respectively. A combination of x-ray diffraction, temperature dependent resistivity, and soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy has been applied to elucidate electronic and structural properties of the samples. In contrast to the bulk NdNiO3, the metal-insulator transition under compressive strain is found to be completely quenched, while the transition remains under the tensile strain albeit modified from the bulk behavior.
