Uniaxial-Stress-Induced Magnetic Transitions in the Triangular-Lattice Antiferromagnet PdCrO2
Nina Stilkerich, Tobias Ritschel, Hilary M. L. Noad +10
Uniaxial stress is a promising method to tune magnetic frustration, allowing its effects to be studied in a precise way. In this work, uniaxial stress is applied to the triangular-…
Probing multipolar order in the candidate altermagnet MnF through the elastocaloric effect under strain
Rahel Ohlendorf, Luca Buiarelli, Hilary M. L. Noad +5
Altermagnets break a combination of time-reversal and rotational symmetries without generating a net magnetization. As such, the order parameter of -wave altermagnets has the sa…
Symmetric versus antisymmetric strain tuning of the valence transition in Yb(InAg)Cu
Caitlin I. O'Neil, Michelle Ocker, Kristin Kliemt +2
Similar to transitions in a range of correlated quantum materials, the valence transition exhibits a strong coupling to the crystal lattice, rendering it highly sensitive to stress…
Determination of the dynamic Young's modulus of quantum materials in piezoactuator-driven uniaxial pressure cells using a low-frequency a.c. method
Caitlin I. O'Neil, Zhenhai Hu, Naoki Kikugawa +4
We report on a new technique for measuring the dynamic Young's modulus, , of quantum materials at low temperatures as a function of static tuning strain, , in piezoactuator-d…
