This review stands in the larger framework of functional materials by focussing on
heterostructures of rare-earth nickelates, described by the chemical formula RNiO 3 where R …

The electronic structure of transition metal oxides featuring correlated electrons can be
rationalized within the Zaanen-Sawatzky-Allen framework. Following a brief description of …

The metal–insulator transition and the intriguing physical properties of rare-earth perovskite
nickelates have attracted considerable attention in recent years. Nonetheless, a complete …

A combination of density functional and dynamical mean field theory calculations are used
to show that the remarkable metal-insulator transition in the rare-earth-element nickelate …

For most metals, increasing temperature (T) or disorder hastens electron scattering. The
electronic conductivity (σ) decreases as T rises because electrons are more rapidly …

The explanation and control of phase transitions remain cornerstones of contemporary
physics. Landau provided an invaluable insight into the thermodynamics of complex …

In transition metal perovskites ABO3, the physical properties are largely driven by the
rotations of the BO6 octahedra, which can be tuned in thin films through strain and …

DOI: 10.1002/adma. 201304256 the MI transition observed in this system based on
modifications of Ni-O bond properties and corresponding changes in the carrier itinerancy …

We have systematically studied a variety of vanadium dioxide (VO 2) crystalline forms,
including bulk single crystals and oriented thin films, using infrared (IR) near-field …

Dynamical mean field theory calculations are used to show that for late transition metal
oxides a critical variable for the Mott/charge-transfer transition is the number of d electrons …
