Strain-stabilized superconductivity

Epitaxial strain is a promising control knob to modulate Tc to enhance superconductivity. Here, the authors show that a metallic oxide RuO2 can be turned superconducting through application of epitaxial strain in thin films grown on a (110)-oriented TiO2 substrate.
