Title: High-pressure floating-zone growth of perovskite nickelate LaNiO ₃ single crystals

Abstract

We report the first single crystal growth of the correlated metal LaNiO ₃ using a high-pressure optical-image floating zone furnace. The crystals were studied using single crystal/powder X-ray diffraction, resistivity, specific heat, and magnetic susceptibility. The availability of bulk LaNiO ₃ crystals will (i) promote deep understanding in this correlated material, including the mechanism of enhanced paramagnetic susceptibility, and (ii) provide rich opportunities as a substrate for thin film growth such as important ferroelectric and/or multiferroic materials. As a result, this study demonstrates the power of high pO ₂ single crystal growth of nickelate perovskites and correlated electron oxides more generally.

High pO ₂ Floating Zone Crystal Growth of the Perovskite Nickelate PrNiO ₃

Journal Article Zheng, Hong ; Zhang, Junjie ; Wang, Bixia ; ... - Crystals

Single crystals of PrNiO ₃ were grown under an oxygen pressure of 295 bar using a unique high-pressure optical-image floating zone furnace. The crystals, with volume in excess of 1 mm ³, were characterized structurally using single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. Resistivity, specific heat, and magnetic susceptibility were measured, all of which evidenced an abrupt, first order metal-insulator transition (MIT) at ~130 K, in agreement with previous literature reports on polycrystalline specimens. Temperature-dependent single crystal diffraction was performed to investigate changes through the MIT. Our study demonstrates the opportunity space for high fugacity, reactive environments for single crystal growthmore »« less

Single crystals of PrNiO3 were grown under an oxygen pressure of 295 bar using a unique high-pressure optical-image floating zone furnace. The crystals, with volume in excess of 1 mm(3), were characterized structurally using single crystal and powder X-ray di ff raction. Resistivity, specific heat, and magnetic susceptibility were measured, all of which evidenced an abrupt, first order metal-insulator transition (MIT) at similar to 130 K, in agreement with previous literature reports on polycrystalline specimens.

Surface structure and electrical properties of solution processed lanthanum nickelate films

Journal Article Pandya, Nirav C., E-mail: usjoshi@gmail.com ; Joshi, U. S., E-mail: usjoshi@gmail.com - AIP Conference Proceedings

Conducting oxides with perovskite crystal structure have many advantages over the simple Pt or Au, Pt based metal bottom electrodes (BE), particularly in fabrication of ferroelectric as well as resistive random access memory devices, if they possess smooth surface morphology. LaNiO{sub 3} (LNO) thin films were prepared by modified chemical solution deposition method. Precursor solutions were spin coated onto SiO{sub 2}-substrates. Deposited layers were thermally treated in a pre-heated furnace at 550 °C and oxygenated up to 800 °C. Results of AFM and FESEM showed that films are very smooth (Ra = 1.69 nm), dense, crack-free and with monodispersed nanocrystallites.more »« less

Single-Crystal Thin Films of Cesium Lead Bromide Perovskite Epitaxially Grown on Metal Oxide Perovskite (SrTiO ₃)

Journal Article Chen, Jie ; Morrow, Darien J. ; Fu, Yongping ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

High-quality metal halide perovskite single crystals have low defect densities and excellent photophysical properties, yet thin films are the most sought after material geometry for optoelectronic devices. Perovskite single-crystal thin films (SCTFs) would be highly desirable for high-performance devices, but their growth remains challenging, particularly for inorganic metal halide perovskites. Herein, we report the facile vapor-phase epitaxial growth of cesium lead bromide perovskite (CsPbBr ₃) continuous SCTFs with controllable micrometer thickness, as well as nanoplate arrays, on traditional oxide perovskite SrTiO ₃(100) substrates. Heteroepitaxial single-crystal growth is enabled by the serendipitous incommensurate lattice match between these two perovskites, and overcomingmore »« less
