The deviation from perovskite structure is small enough to keep octahedral environment of Ni ions, but with Ni-O-Ni bond angles θ and φ different from 180◦ (91) Such possible change in crystal structure had a clear influence on the electronic properties of the compounds. 1.2.2 Electronic structure Conductivity of rare earth nickelates has been for a long time the source of interest due to the ’difficult’ nature of the so-called metal-insulator transition. This, more of a semiconductor rather than insulator to metal, transition was investigated early by plain resistivity measurements. They have shown a drop in resistance of a few orders of magnitude. A sharply decreasing semiconductor-like resistivity at the MIT is inflected to exhibit the metallic-like character. 12
