Studying the response of materials to strain can elucidate subtle properties of electronic structure in strongly correlated materials. So far, mostly the relation between strain and resistivity, the so called elastoresistivity, has been…
Many printed electronic applications require strain-independent electrical properties to ensure deformation-independent performance. Thus, developing printed, flexible devices using 2D and other nanomaterials will require an understanding…
By integrating a dielectric microwave resonator with a piezoelectric-based strain device, we develop an in situ strain-tunable microwave spectroscopy technique that enables contactless measurements of superconducting properties under…
We present the design, implementation, and validation of a cryo-compatible strain cell for elastoresistance measurements in quantum materials. The cell is actuated by three large-format piezoelectric stacks and enables both compressive and…
The resistive response of Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$)$_{2}$As$_{2}$ to AC mechanical deformation is considered in the multi-domain state. This resistance change depends both upon the anelastic relaxation of domain walls and upon the relation…
The elastoresistivity tensor $m_{ij,kl}$ relates changes in resistivity to strains experienced by a material. As a fourth-rank tensor, it contains considerably more information about the material than the simpler (second-rank) resistivity…
An instrumentation problem with the signal acquisition at high frequencies was discovered and we no longer believe that the experimental data presented in the manuscript, showing a frequency enhancement of the elastoresistivity, are…
An AC susceptometer operating in the range of 10 Hz to 100 kHz and at room temperature is designed, built, calibrated and used to characterize the magnetic behaviour of coated magnetic nanoparticles. Other weakly magnetic materials (in…
Elastoresistance describes the relative change of a material's resistance when strained. It has two major contributions: strain induced geometric and electronic changes. If the geometric factor dominates, like in ordinary metals such as…
The elastocaloric effect (ECE) is a thermodynamic quantity relating changes in entropy to changes in strain experienced by a material. As such, ECE measurements can provide valuable information about the entropy landscape proximate to…
The adiabatic elastocaloric effect measures the temperature change of given systems with strain and probes the entropic landscape in the temperature-strain space. In this study we demonstrate that the DC bias strain-dependence of AC…
A new method is presented for measuring terms in the elastoresistivity tensor $m_{ij}$ of single crystal samples with tetragonal symmetry. The technique is applied to a representative underdoped Fe-arsenide,…
A capacitive displacement system was constructed to measure the electric-field-induced piezoelectric strain in the simple form of either a bulk or thin film. The system can determine an AC displacement of 2 pm precisely by using a lock-in…
We present a comprehensive study of the frequency-dependent sensitivity for measurements of the AC elastocaloric effect by applying both exactly soluble models and numerical methods to the oscillating heat flow problem. These models…
Uniaxial stress, as well as hydrostatic pressure are often used to tune material properties in condensed matter physics. Here, we present a setup which allows for the study of the combined effects of quasi-uniaxial stress and hydrostatic…
Using Ba(Fe$_{0.975}$Co$_{0.025}$)$_2$As$_{2}$ as an exemplar material exhibiting second order electronic-nematic and antiferromagnetic transitions, we present measurements that reveal anomalies in the elastoresistance $\left(\frac{\partial…
Single crystal elastic constants of bcc iron and bct FeC and FeN alloys, martensites, have been evaluated by ab initio calculations based on the density functional theory. The energy of a strained crystal has been computed using the…
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 extended only to small strains, where the response is…
Synchrotron Laue microdiffraction and Digital Image Correlation measurements were coupled to track the elastic strain field (or stress field) and the total strain field near a general grain boundary in a bent bicrystal. A 316L stainless…
The main purpose of this work was to design, develop and construct a simple, low-cost AC susceptometer to measure large, bulk superconducting samples (up to 32 mm in diameter) in the temperature range 78-120 K. The design incorporates a…
