We report an interesting effect in organic conductors and superconductors: the inducement and/or enhancement of superconductivity by uniaxial compressive stress. Uniaxial stress induces superconductivity in a density-wave material and increases the transition temperature of a superconductor by a factor of 3. Analysis of the Shubnikov -de Haas effect shows an expansion of the in-plane unit cell with stress and an increase in
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
