Electronic-structure evolution through the metal-insulator transition in RENiO{sub 3}.
We performed a photoemission investigation of the electronic structure of PrNiO{sub 3} and NdNiO{sub 3} through the first order (paramagnetic) metal to (antiferromagnetic) insulator transition. Surprisingly, the data reveal a temperature-dependent loss of spectral weight near the chemical potential, which extends well below the coincident metal-insulator (T{sub MI}) and magnetic (T{sub Neel}) transition temperatures. This is in contrast with the behavior in SmNiO{sub 3} and EuNiO{sub 3}, where the two transitions are separate. The spectral properties clearly indicate two distinct regimes for RNiO{sub 3} with T{sub MI}=T{sub Neel} and T{sub MI}>T{sub Neel}.
