(a) Simulated LA-PACBED patterns for bulk NdNiO3, and experimental LA-PACBED patterns for the NdGaO3 substrate and the NdNiO3 film on NdGaO3 at room temperature. (b) LA-PACBED patterns from (a) after a Sorbel edge filter, with enhanced contrast to allow for identification of the diffraction discs. Selected diffraction discs are indexed in orthorhombic notation. The insets show the experimental 200 discs. The NdGaO3 substrate shows very similar features and intensities as the simulation, while the NdNiO3 film shows a different symmetry than the substrate and bulk structure. (c) Schematic of the expanded 2 × 2 × 2 pseudocubic unit cell for bulk NdNiO3 and tensile strained NdNiO3 films, showing relationships between key features in the orthorhombic lattice parameters and most probable Glazer octahedral tilts.
