Abstract

The single-phase Nd1-xSrxNiO3 (x = 0–0.3) polycrystalline samples were successfully synthesized, and the structure, resistivity, and magnetic property were investigated. All of samples were well indexed to an orthorhombic structure with Pnma space group. With increasing Sr concentration x, the lattice parameter a decreased, the lattice parameter b and c increased, the obtained unit-cell volume systematically increased due to the larger ion radius of Sr2+ than Nd3+. Sr partial substitution for Nd suppressed the metal-insulator and antiferromagnetic transition until x = 0.2. However, as the Sr content increased to 0.3, some abnormal phenomena were observed. The present work shows that physical properties are correlated with the evolution of perovskite tolerance factor in Nd1-xSrxNiO3 system.
