A device for the application of uniaxial strain to single crystal samples for use in synchrotron radiation experiments by Gannon, L., Bosak, A., Burkovsky, R. G., Nisbet, G., Hoesch, M., Petrović, Alexander Paul

“…We present the design, construction, and testing of a straining device compatible with many different synchrotron radiation techniques, in a wide range of experimental environments (including low temperature, high field and ultra-high vacuum). The device has been tested by X-ray diffraction on single crystal samples of quasi-one-dimensional Cs2Mo6Se6 and K2Mo6Se6, in which microscopic strains up to a Δc/c = 0.12% ± 0.01% change in the c lattice parameters have been achieved. …”
