Variations of critical temperature $T_c$ and in-plane critical field $H_{c2}$ of $text{Sr}_2text{Ru}text{O}_4$ under uniaxial stress have recently been reported. We compare the strain dependence of $T_c$ and $H_{c2}$ in various pairing channels ($d$-wave, extended s-wave and $p$-wave) with the experimental observations, by studying a three-band tight-binding model that includes effects of spin-orbit and Zeeman couplings and a separable pairing interaction. Our study helps narrow down the possibility of pairing channels. The importance of the multi-band nature of $text{Sr}_2text{Ru}text{O}_4$ is also highlighted.

Evidence of nematic effects in the mixed superconducting phase of slightly underdoped $text{Ba}(text{Fe}_{1-x}text{Co}_x)_2text{As}_2$ is reported. We have found strong in-plane resistivity anisotropy for crystals in different strain conditions. For these compositions, there is no magnetic long range order, so the description may be ascribed to the interplay between the superconducting and nematic order parameters. A piezoelectric-based apparatus is used to apply tensile or compressive strain to tune nematic domain orientation in order to examine intrinsic nematicity. Measurements are done under a rotating magnetic field and the analysis of the angular dependence of physical quantities identifies the cases in which the sample is {em detwinned}. Furthermore, the angular dependence of the data allows us to evaluate the effects of nematicity on the in-plane superconductor stiffness. Our results show that although nematicity contributes in a decisive way in the conduction properties, its contributions to the anisotropy properties of the stiffness of the superconducting order parameter is not as significant in these samples.
The electron-doping-driven collapse of the charge gap and staggered magnetization of the spin-orbit-assisted Mott insulator Sr$_{3}$Ir$_{2}$O$_{7}$ is explored via first-principles computational methods. In the antiferromagnetic phase, the gap and ma gnetization are observed to decrease slowly with increasing doping, with an abrupt collapse of both the gap and the magnetization at an electron concentration corresponding to 4.8% substitution of Sr with La, in excellent agreement with experiment. Additionally, we describe the structural effects of electron doping in Sr$_{3}$Ir$_{2}$O$_{7}$ via a competition between the steric effect from smaller La atoms substituted within the lattice and the dominant doping-driven deformation-potential effect. Curiously, our first-principles calculations fail to capture the low-temperature structural distortion reported in the low-gap phase of Sr$_{3}$Ir$_{2}$O$_{7}$, supporting the notion that this distortion arises as a secondary manifestation of an unconventional electronic order parameter in this material.
Strontium ruthenate (Sr$_2$RuO$_4$) is a multiband superconductor that displays evidence of topological superconductivity, although a model of the order parameter that is consistent with all experiments remains elusive. We integrated a piezoelectric- based strain apparatus with a scanning superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) microscope to map the diamagnetic response of single-crystal Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ as a function of temperature, uniaxial pressure, and position with micron-scale spatial resolution. We thereby obtained local measurements of the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ vs. anisotropic strain $epsilon$ with sufficient sensitivity for comparison to theoretical models that assume a uniform $p_xpm ip_y$ order parameter. We found that $T_c$ varies with position and that the locally measured $T_c$ vs. $epsilon$ curves are quadratic ($T_cproptoepsilon^2$), as allowed by the C$_4$ symmetry of the crystal lattice. We did not observe the low-strain linear cusp ($T_cpropto left| epsilon right|$) that would be expected for a two-component order parameter such as $p_xpm ip_y$. These results provide new input for models of the order parameter of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$.
We have systematically studied the effects of in-plane uniaxial pressure $p$ on the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ in many iron-based superconductors. The change of $T_c$ with $p$ is composed of linear and nonlinear components. The latt er can be described as a quadratic term plus a much smaller fourth-order term. In contrast to the linear component, the nonlinear $p$ dependence of $T_c$ displays a pronounced in-plane anisotropy, which is similar to the anisotropic response of the resistivity to $p$. As a result, it can be attributed to the coupling between the superconducting and nematic orders, in accordance with the expectations of a phenomenological Landau theory. Our results provide direct evidences for the interplay between nematic fluctuations and superconductivity, which may be a common behavior in iron-based superconductors.

We investigate the imaginary part of the wave vector dependent dynamic spin susceptibility in Sr$_2$(Ru$_{0.99}$Ti$_{0.01}$)O$_4$ as a function of temperature using neutron scattering. At T=5 K, two-dimensional incommensurate (IC) magnetic fluctuatio ns are clearly observed around $mathbf{Q}_text{c}=(0.3,0.3,L)$ up to approximately 60 meV energy transfer. We find that the IC excitations disperse to ridges around the $(pi,pi)$ point. Below 50 K, the energy and temperature dependent excitations are well described by the phenomenological response function for a Fermi liquid system with a characteristic energy of 4.0(1) meV. Although the wave vector dependence of the IC magnetic fluctuations in Sr$_2$(Ru$_{0.99}$Ti$_{0.01}$)O$_4$ is similar to that in the Fermi liquid state of the parent compound, Sr$_2$RuO$_4$, the magnetic fluctuations are clearly suppressed by the Ti-doping.
