Disentangling lattice and electronic contributions to the metal-insulator transition from bulk vs. layer confined RNiO3 [Applied Physical Sciences]

In complex oxide materials, changes in electronic properties are often associated with changes in crystal structure, raising the question of the relative roles of the electronic and lattice effects in driving the metal–insulator transition. This paper presents a combined theoretical and experimental analysis of the dependence of the metal–insulator transition...
