Perspective—Emergent Phases in Rare Earth Nickelate Heterostructure

Journal Article · · ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology

The prediction of highTcsuperconductivity in layers of LaNiO3through orbital engineering has led to extensive research efforts over the last fifteen years. During this period, a plethora of thin films and heterostructures based rare-earth nickelate family with perovskite structure has been synthesized and explored. In this short perspective, we briefly review the complexity of bulkRENiO3, spotlighting several recent findings of emergent phenomena in heterostructures containing the interface betweenRENiO3and another transition metal oxide. Finally, we outline potentially interesting future directions linked to time-domain dynamics to harness new Mott and topological phases in artificial structures ofRENiO3.
