Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Solid State Physics

Background:

  • Uniaxial stress is a key method for probing electronic materials.
  • Current methods for applying stress have limitations, either allowing large strains on robust samples or delicate strains on fragile ones.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for applying large elastic strains to mechanically delicate samples.
  • To merge the advantages of existing uniaxial stress application techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Thin samples were affixed to a substrate.
  • The substrate-mounted samples were subjected to uniaxial stress using piezoelectric actuators.
  • This approach allowed for the application of tunable uniaxial stress.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated the successful application of large elastic strains to mechanically delicate samples.
  • Successfully applied the method to van der Waals-bonded iron selenide (FeSe).
  • Successfully applied the method to a focused ion beam-shaped cerium-gold-antimony (CeAuSb2) sample.

Conclusions:

  • The described approach effectively combines the benefits of previous methods.
  • This technique enables the study of mechanically delicate materials under significant uniaxial stress.
  • The method is suitable for investigating materials like FeSe and CeAuSb2.
