Measurements of specific heat, magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity on LaNiO3 are reported. No evidence of magnetic ordering or metal-insulator transitions is found. From the measured electronic specific heat parameter γ and the Pauli susceptibility χP, a Stoner enhancement parameter is derived. Comparison with band structure calculations performed by other workers is also made.
