Superconductivity in infinite layer nickelates Nd_1-x⁢Sr_xNiO₂ has so far been achieved only in thin films, raising questions on the role of substrates and interfaces. Given the challenges associated with their synthesis it is imperative to identify their intrinsic properties. We use resonant inelastic x-ray scattering to investigate the influence of the SrTiO₃ capping layer on the excitations of Nd_1-x⁢Sr_x⁢NiO₂ (x =0 and 0.2). Spin excitations are observed in parent and 20% doped Nd_1-xSr_x⁢NiO₂ regardless of capping, proving that magnetism is intrinsic to infinite-layer nickelates and appears in a significant fraction of their phase diagram. In parent and superconducting Nd_1-xSr_x⁢NiO₂, the spin excitations are slightly hardened in capped samples compared to the noncapped ones. Additionally, a weaker Ni-Nd charge transfer peak at ~0.6 eV suggests that the hybridization between Ni 3⁢d and Nd 5⁢d orbitals is reduced in capped samples. In conclusion, from our data, capping induces only minimal differences in Nd_1-xSr_xNiO₂ and we phenomenologically discuss these differences based on the reconstruction of the SrTiO₃-NdNiO₂ interface and other mechanisms such as crystalline disorder.
