We investigate the behavior of the spectral weight near the Fermi level of NdNiO3 thin films as a function of temperature across the metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) by means of ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. The spectral weight was found to exhibit thermal hysteresis, similar to that of the dc conductivity. A detailed analysis of the temperature dependence reveals two distinct...
