Abstract:
A sensitive probe of unconventional order is its response to a symmetry-breaking field. To probe the proposed p x ± ip y topological superconducting state of Sr 2 RuO 4 , we have constructed an apparatus capable of applying both compressive and tensile strains of up to 0.23%. Strains applied along 〈 100 〉 crystallographic directions yield a strong, strain-symmetric increase in the superconducting transition temperature T c . 〈 110 〉 strains give a much weaker, mostly antisymmetric response. As well as advancing the understanding of the superconductivity of Sr 2 RuO 4 , our technique has potential applicability to a wide range of problems in solid-state physics.
