The relationship between transport anisotropy and nematicity in FeSe
Jack Bartlett, Alexander Steppke, Suguru Hosoi +6
The mechanism behind the nematicity of FeSe is not known. Through elastoresitivity measurements it has been shown to be an electronic instability. However, so far measurements have…
Rigid platform for applying large tunable strains to mechanically delicate samples
Joonbum Park, Jack M. Bartlett, Hilary M. L. Noad +8
Response to uniaxial stress has become a major probe of electronic materials. Tuneable uniaxial stress may be applied using piezoelectric actuators, and so far two methods have bee…
Imaging anisotropic vortex dynamics in FeSe
Irene P. Zhang, Johanna C. Palmstrom, Hilary Noad +6
Strong vortex pinning in FeSe could be useful for technological applications and could provide clues about the coexistence of superconductivity and nematicity. To characterize the…
Observation of the signatures of sub-resolution defects in two-dimensional superconductors with scanning SQUID
Hilary Noad, Christopher A. Watson, Hisashi Inoue +6
The diamagnetic susceptibility of a superconductor is directly related to its superfluid density. Mutual inductance is a highly sensitive method for characterizing thin films; howe…
Modulation of superconducting transition temperature in LaAlO/SrTiO by SrTiO structural domains
Hilary Noad, Pascal Wittlich, Jochen Mannhart +1
The tetragonal domain structure in SrTiO (STO) is known to modulate the normal-state carrier density in LaAlO/SrTiO (LAO/STO) heterostructures, among other electr…
