The growth of high-quality functional oxide epitaxial thin films on wafer-scale Si substrates is essential for advancing oxide electronics. LaNiO3, a perovskite oxide with a hydrogenation-induced metal–insulator transition, is promising for thermal-transistor applications. We previously demonstrated heteroepitaxial growth of LaNiO3 on Pt/ZrO2-buffered Si and modulation of its thermal conductivity by hydrogenation. This study investigates the correlation among film crystal structure, hydrogenation-induced lattice expansion, and thermal conductivity. LaNiO3 films of various thicknesses were grown by pulsed laser deposition. Mosaicity was evaluated by X-ray rocking curves, and lattice expansion before and after hydrogenation via ionic-liquid gating was measured. Optimized growth and RTA reduced the rocking-curve FWHM from 1.2° to 0.6°, and smaller-FWHM films showed larger lattice expansion and a greater hydrogenation-induced change in thermal conductivity measured by TDTR.
