Abstract
We have performed a comparative study of total three films, two films of NdNiO3 deposited on SrTiO3 (STO) and NdGaO3 (NGO) single-crystals and one 10% Mn-doped thin film of NdNi0.9Mn0.1O3 deposited on NGO. We find that both, the enhanced tensile strain and the Mn-doping drive the system to an insulating state from a metallic state at high temperatures. NdNiO3/NGO film shows a metal-insulator transition, which disappears in the other two films due to opening of charge-transfer gap. These results reveal that the effect of tensile strain on the resistivity of NdNiO3 is profound at low temperatures, whereas Mn-doping clearly dominates at high temperatures.
