Description
Summary:The recent observation of superconductivity in thin films of infinite-layer nickelate Nd0.8Sr0.2NiO2 has received considerable attention.Despite the many efforts to understand the superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates,a consensus on the underlying mechanism for the superconductivity has yet to be reached,partly owing to the challenges with the material synthesis.Here,we report the successful growth of superconducting infinite-layer Nd0.8Sr0.2NiO2 films by pulsed laser deposition and soft chemical reduction.The details on the growth process are discussed.
