Observation of Microscopic Domain Effects in the Metal–Insulator Transition of Thin-Film NdNiO 3
Perovskite oxides display correlated electrical, magnetic, and thermal properties that can be further tuned in the thin-film limit, making them contenders for next-generation electronics. Measuring thermal transport in thin films is challenging, because traditional techniques are dominated by the substrate. Here, frequency-domain thermoreflectance (FDTR) of an epitaxial NdNiO3 thin film reveals a sharp change in out-of-plane thermal conductivity across the metal–insulator transition. Complementary frequency-domain photoreflectance (FDPR) reveals a large change in ambipolar diffusivity of photoexcited carriers. While the in-plane electrical resistance shows large hysteresis, out-of-plane thermal and charge transport shows negligible hysteresis. We attribute this discrepancy to anisotropy in the percolation of nanoscale domains across the transition as the film thickness approaches the domain length scale. We establish FDTR and FDPR as sensitive probes of quantum material phase transitions and highlight NdNiO3 for thermal control and memory applications.

Role of magnetic ions in the thermal Hall effect of the paramagnetic insulatorIn a growing number of materials, phonons have been found to generate a thermal Hall effect, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Inspired by previous studies that revealed the importance of ions in generating the thermal Hall effect in a family of pyrochlores, we investigated the role of ions in , a paramagnetic insulator with a different crystal structure. We observe a negative thermal Hall conductivity in with a magnitude such that the Hall angle, , is approximately at = 15 T and = 20 K, typical for a phonon-generated thermal Hall effect. In contrast to the negligible found in the nonmagnetic pyrochlore analog (where the ions are replaced with ), we observe a negative in with a Hall angle of magnitude comparable to that of . This shows that the ions are not essential for the thermal Hall effect in this family of materials. Interestingly, at an intermediate Y concentration of in was found to have a positive sign, pointing to the importance of impurities in the thermal Hall effect of phonons.- 23 July 2024
