Possible common ground for the metal-insulator phase transition in the rare-earth nickelates <i>R</i>NiO₃ (R = Eu, Ho, Y)

We report on the infrared spectra of <i>R</i>NiO₃ (<i>R</i> = E, Ho, Y). They provide evidence of phonon and insulating gap behavior and point to the monoclinic distortion at the metal-insulator (MI) transition as a feature for all <i>R</i>NiO₃ (<i>R</i&g...

description We report on the infrared spectra of <i>R</i>NiO₃ (<i>R</i> = E, Ho, Y). They provide evidence of phonon and insulating gap behavior and point to the monoclinic distortion at the metal-insulator (MI) transition as a feature for all <i>R</i>NiO₃ (<i>R</i> ≠ La). We hypothesize that the intermediate paramagnetic phase (above T<sub>N</sub> and below T<sub>MI</sub> in <i>R</i>NiO₃ (<i>R</i> = Sm, Eu, Ho, Y) might be consequence of a self-doping effect, gradually triggering a phase segregation in electron-rich and electron-poor regions. This picture is concomitant to the temperature-dependent effect of octahedral tilting and distortion and self-trapped electrons in a polaronic medium.
