Title  :  Measuring the stress-strain relationship of correlated electron materials

Abstract： 

 It is common procedure to measure the stress-strain relationship of engineeringmaterials, but much less so for correlated electron materials. Reasons that this is achallenging measurement for correlated electron materials include thedifficultmechanical properties of many electronically interesting materials, the need forlow temperatures, and the need for strains of order 1% to observe interestingelectronic effects. In this talk, I will tell you about the stress-strain relationshipofthe correlated metal Sr2RuO4. Compression along the [100] lattice direction drivesthe largest Fermi surface through a Lifshitz transition, from an electron-like to anopen geometry. We find that the Young’s modulus has a sharp dip at this transition,by about 10% of its zero-stress value. This large effect can be explained mostly byband structure effects alone. Beyond the Lifshitz transition, the Young’s modulusrises by more than expected. I will also show Hall effect data, that indicate apronouncedchange in electron-electron scattering across the Lifshitz transition.

  １軸歪みは、結晶対称性を容易に低下させることが可能で、競合する秩序状態を選択的に露わに物性に発現させたり、ファン・ホーベ特異点近傍の電子構造を制御し劇的な物性変化を齎したりと、物性研究には欠かせない物理パラメータとして近年注目されている。Hicks氏は、ピエゾ素子を巧みに組み込み、様々な物性測定装置へ搭載可能とするコンパクトかつパワフルな１軸圧力印加デバイスを開発し、電子構造のリフシッツ転移で超伝導転移温度の上昇を初めとする物性制御を開拓したり、超伝導と競合する３次元的電荷密度波状態を発現させる等で多彩な強相関電子物性を見出すなど、この研究分野を世界的にリードしている。
