We investigate the electronic reconstruction in (LaNiO3)(n)/(LaAlO3)(3) (n = 3, 5, and 10) superlattices due to the quantum confinement (QC) by dc transport and resonant soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy. In proximity to the QC limit, a Mott-type transition from an itinerant electron behavior to a localized state is observed. The system exhibits tendency toward charge-order during the transition. Ab initio cluster calculations are in good agreement with the absorption spectra, indicating that the apical ligand hole density is highly suppressed, resulting in a strong modification of the electronic structure. At the dimensional crossover cellular dynamical-mean-field calculations support the emergence of a Mott insulator ground state in the heterostructured ultrathin slab of LaNiO3.
