A sensitive probe of unconventional order is its response to a symmetry-breaking field. To probe the proposed p(x) ± ip(y) topological superconducting state of Sr2RuO4, we have constructed an apparatus capable of applying both compressive and tensile strains of up to 0.23%.

Article Synopsis
  • PdCoO(2) is the most conductive oxide known, with an impressive in-plane resistivity measurement of 2.6 μΩ cm at 295 K.
  • The low-temperature resistivity shows an unusual activated dependence instead of the typical T(5) relationship, indicating a gapping in effective scattering likely due to phonon drag.
  • At temperatures below 10 K, the transport mean free path reaches around 20 μm, which is significantly large for flux-grown crystals, suggesting unique material properties.
