摘要
The a- and c-axis-oriented epitaxial thin films of layered nickelate La2-xSrxNiO4 (0.5less than or equal toxless than or equal to1.5), of which bulk single crystals are not available, were grown on LaSrAlO4 (100) and (LaAlO3)(0.3)(SrAl0.5Ta0.5O3)(0.7) (001) substrates, respectively. Due to the in-plane anisotropy of the lattice mismatch, the lattice parameters of the a-axis-oriented films vary with x in a different manner from those of the ceramics. In the a-axis-oriented films, resistivity, and optical spectra show large anisotropy between the b and c axes, indicating the quasi-two-dimensional nature of the electronic structure in La2-xSrxNiO4.
