A team of scientists from the MPI CPFS and Stockholm, Tsukuba, Oxford, Toronto, St Andrews and Birmingham combined focused ion beam microstructuring and uniaxial pressure to achieve a record value of uniaxial pressure for the unconventional superconductor Sr₂RuO₄ and found that the superconducting state of Sr₂RuO₄ evolved surprisingly. more

Working with a new experimental technique called the ac elastocaloric effect, a team of scientists from Dresden, Karlsruhe, St Andrews, Cornell, Tsukuba and Stanford has mapped out the so-called phase diagram of the unconventional superconductor Sr₂RuO₄. The results narrow down the on-going, 25 years quest to understand the superconductivity of Sr₂RuO₄ and set a benchmark for future work. more
