Van Hove singularity and stress-induced Fermi surface tuning in Sr<sub>2</sub>RuO<sub>4</sub>

ORAL

Abstract

Application of in-plane uniaxial stress to the quasi-2D correlated material Sr2RuO4 results in pronounced changes to the physical properties; most widely recognized is a factor 2.5 increase in superconducting transition temperature. The normal state is also significantly impacted. Reported here are 17O NMR hyperfine shifts over a wide range of stress, field, and temperature. Results are compared to renormalized 3-band Wannier models constructed from DFT calculations. The crossover temperature to standard Fermi Liquid properties is observed to be tuned continuously from TFL=30 K to 0 K with applied stress. Furthermore, the combination of correlations and the stress-controlled proximity of EF to a van Hove singularity are the main factors in determining the normal state properties for temperatures of order 300 K and below.
