Rare earth nickelates RENiO3 which attract interest due to their sharp metal-insulator phase transition, are instable in bulk form due to the necessity of an important oxygen pressure to stabilize Ni in its 3+ state of oxidation. Here, we report the stabilization of rare earth nickelates in [(SmNiO3)t/(NdNiO3)t]n thin film multilayers, t being the thickness of layers alternated n times. Both bilayers and multilayers have been deposited by Metal-Organic Chemical Vapour Deposition. The multilayer structure and the presence of the metastable phases SmNiO3 and NdNiO3 are evidenced from by X-ray and Raman scattering. Electric measurements of a bilayer structure further support the structural quality of the embedded rare earth nickelate layers.
