Description
Quantum matter is characterised by competing and intertwined orders. Here we will present our recent advances in using uniaxial pressure as a clean “surgical” tool to tune quantum phases while simultaneously obtaining microscopic insights via scattering experiments.
To achieve the fine-tuning, we have designed a new in-situ uniaxial device for large-scale facility research based on an actuator-motor mechanism, efficient feedback loops and the sample-holder design enabling rapid exchange of the samples [1]. I will demonstrate the advanced capabilities of this device by reporting the control of charge and structural degrees of freedom in an archetypical cuprate [2].
