Research Interests on Nickelates |
We have prepared and characterized polycrystalline samples of nickelates with general formula LnNiO3; Ln = rare-earth elements and their solid solutions. We have focused our efforts on the understanding of the temperature driven metal-insulator transition in this series. The research project also includes alternative routes for growing these nickelates. |
