Spinel compounds with underlying pyrochlore lattice are known playgrounds for geometric frustration. In particular, LiV2O4 has attracted considerable attention due to its unconventional heavy fermion phase, which emerges at low temperatures in the absence of localized f electrons [1]. Recent studies have shown that metallic LiV2O4 can be driven into an insulating, charge-ordered state by applying epitaxial strain in the thin-film limit. Such an observation hints at the role of charge frustration and quantum criticality in the heavy fermion phase of LiV2O4. Using pulsed laser deposition, we studied thin films of LiV2O4 (strained and unstrained), and compared them with thin films of the distorted spinel AlV2O4, where a charge-ordered state was previously reported in powder samples [2].
