| Abstract Scope |
Tuning electronic interactions is usually done via substitution and doping during synthesis, which often makes it difficult to study continuous changes in the tuned properties. Mechanical strains, on the other hand, can be changed continuously. Here, we present magnetic material systems that we tune by external strains. We demonstrate how a scanning SQUID microscopy can be used to study these strain-tuned materials and what new insights into phase transformations in these materials this imaging technique provides. |
