Abstract

We have investigated uniaxial pressure effect on superconductivity of pure Sr2RuO4, whose intrinsic superconducting transition temperature Tc is 1.5 K. It is revealed that a very low uniaxial pressure along the c axis, only 0.2 GPa, induces superconductivity with the onset Tc above 3 K. The present results indicate that pure Sr2RuO4 has two superconducting phases with Tc=1.5 K and with varying Tc up to 3.2 K. The latter phase exhibits unusual features and is attributable to anisotropic crystal distortions beyond the elastic limit.
