Absence of Metallic Behavior in Epitaxial NiCo2O4 Thin Films: Role of Microstructural Disorder

Congmian Zhen, XiaoZhe Zhang, Wengang Wei +6

Despite the low resistivity (~ 1 mohm cm), the metallic electrical transport has not been commonly observed in the inverse spinel NiCo2O4, except in certain epitaxial thin films. P…
