The Hall coefficient of epitaxial NdNiO3 films is evaluated in a wide range of temperatures, from the metallic into the insulating phase. It is shown that for temperatures for which metallic and insulating regions co-exist, the Hall coefficient must be corrected for the time-dependence in the longitudinal resistance,…

Spectroscopic ellipsometry was used to investigate the strain-dependent optical properties of BiFeO3 thin films. At room temperature, the compressively strained BiFeO3/LaAlO3 thin films show the largest band gap of about 3.12 eV. It redshifts to 2.75 eV for the tensile strained BiFeO3/NdScO3 thin films. With increasin…
