Abstract

The chapter starts with a general discussion of the peculiarities of [111] oriented crystal structures which are employed for the following experiments. This particular crystallographic direction coincides with the \(\mathbf q _0=(1/4,~1/4,~1/4)\) propagation vector of the nickelate’s magnetic order, hence out-of-plane spatial confinement yields truncation along the propagation direction of the magnetic order. Important results of previous experimental studies on [111] nickelates will be reviewed and the suitability of truncated nickelate slabs as an elementary magnetic model system will be explained. A thorough experimental characterization of all synthesized samples by electrical transport, scanning transmission electron microscopy, and synchrotron x-ray diffraction then leads us to focus on a series of four specific NdNiO\(_3\) slabs with different layer thickness along the [111] direction. The central point of the chapter is the REXS azimuthal dependence, which is modeled by a double cluster approach and discussed in conjunction with DFT\(+\) U calculations. Finally, implications of our findings on theories describing the magnetic order in nickelates are explained and future experiments will be outlined.
