Electronic transitions in strained SmNiO3 thin films

Nickelates are known for their metal to insulator transition (MIT) and an unusual magnetic ordering, occurring at T = TNéel. Here, we investigate thin films of SmNiO3 subjected to different levels of epitaxial strain. We find that the original bulk behavior (TNéel < TMI) is strongly affected by a...
