Anisotropic Superconductivity with Enhanced Critical Field in Strained RuO2

Younes Ghorbani, Samuel Poage, Xuehsi Gao +9

The superconductivity in RuO2 emerges under strain. RuO2 is also an altermagnet candidate. The nature of superconductivity and its relation with neighboring orders, however, are no…
