More than two decades after the discovery of superconductivity in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$, it is still unclear whether the order parameter has a single component or two degenerate components. For any two-component scenario, application of uniaxial…
Fermi surface is at the heart of our understanding of metals and strongly correlated many-body systems. An abrupt change in the Fermi surface topology, also called Lifshitz transition, can lead to the emergence of fascinating phenomena like…
Lifshitz transition, a change in Fermi surface topology, is likely to greatly influence exotic correlated phenomena in solids, such as high-temperature superconductivity and complex magnetism. However, since the observation of Fermi…
Strain is ubiquitous in solid-state materials, but despite its fundamental importance and technological relevance, leveraging externally applied strain to gain control over material properties is still in its infancy. In particular, strain…
We revealed that the superconducting transition temperature Tc of the multi-component superconductor Sr2RuO4 is enhanced to 3.3 K under in-plane uniaxial pressure that reduces the tetragonal crystal symmetry. This result suggests that new…
Applying in-plane uniaxial pressure to strongly correlated low-dimensional systems has been shown to tune the electronic structure dramatically. For example, the unconventional superconductor Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ can be tuned through a single Van…
Here we demonstrate how the Fermi surface topology and quantum many-body interactions can be manipulated via epitaxial strain in the spin-triplet superconductor Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ and its isoelectronic counterpart Ba$_2$RuO$_4$ using oxide…
We explore the effect of lattice anisotropy on the charge-ordered superconductor 2H-NbSe$_{2}$. Using a novel strain apparatus, we measure the superconducting transition temperature $T_{sc}$ as a function of uniaxial strain. It is found…

The phenomenology and radical changes seen in materials properties traversing a quantum phase transition has captivated condensed matter research over past decades. Strong electronic correlations lead to novel electronic ground states,…
We study Sr$_2$(Ba$_2$)VO$_4$ under high pressure by means of the local density approximation + dynamical mean field theory method. While Sr$_2$VO$_4$ is a 1/6-filling three-band system at ambient pressure with a small level splitting…
Interplay of superconductivity and density wave orders has been at the forefront of research of correlated electronic phases for a long time. 2H-NbSe$_2$ is considered to be a prototype system for studying this interplay, where the balance…
In bulk Sr$_{2}$RuO$_{4}$, the strong sensitivity of the superconducting transition temperature $T_{\text{c}}$ to nonmagnetic impurities provides robust evidence for a superconducting order parameter that changes sign around the Fermi…
The layered material ZrSiTe is currently extensively investigated as a nodal-line semimetal with Dirac-like band crossings protected by nonsymmorphic symmetry close to the Fermi energy. A recent infrared spectroscopy study on ZrSiTe under…
The layered-ruthenate family of materials possess an intricate interplay of structural, electronic and magnetic degrees of freedom that yields a plethora of delicately balanced ground states. This is exemplified by Ca$_{3}$Ru$_{2}$O$_{7}$,…
Engineering van Hove singularities (vHss) near the Fermi level, if feasible, offers a powerful route to control exotic quantum phases in electronic and magnetic behaviors. However, conventional approaches, which rely primarily on chemical…
In the unconventional superconductor Sr$_2$RuO$_4$, uniaxial stress along the $[100]$ direction tunes the Fermi level through a Van Hove singularity (VHS) in the density of states, causing a strong enhancement of the superconducting…
One of the main developments in unconventional superconductivity in the past two decades has been the discovery that most unconventional superconductors form phase diagrams that also contain other strongly correlated states. Many systems of…
