Epitaxial growth and electronic structure of Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates (${\mathrm{La}}_{n+1}{\mathrm{Ni}}_n{\mathrm{O}}_{3n+1},n=1-5$)

Zi Li, Wei Guo, Tingting Zhang +4

We report the epitaxial growth of Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates, ${\mathrm{La}}_{n+1}{\mathrm{Ni}}_n{\mathrm{O}}_{3n+1}$, with $n$ up to 5 by reactive molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).…
