摘要: We studied the changes in electronic structure of ${\mathrm{LaNiO}}_{3\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\delta}}$ across metal-insulator transition. The technique used study was mainly $\mathrm{O} 1s$ x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). experimental spectrum ${\mathrm{LaNiO}}_{3.00}$ analyzed terms a cluster-model calculation. presents sharp peak at threshold that corresponds to ${3d}^{8}L\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{}c{3d}^{9}$ transitions. Analysis this indicates charge carriers contain considerable oxygen character. intensity decreases ${\mathrm{LaNiO}}_{2.75}$ and disappears almost completely for ${\mathrm{LaNiO}}_{2.50}.$ This suggests transition is related disappearance ensuing band-gap opening. compound split due presence two nonequivalent crystallographic sites. tentatively attributed potential disorder between these
