Muon spin rotation/relaxation (μSR) and polar Kerr effect measurements provide evidence for a time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB) superconducting state in Sr2RuO4. However, the absence of a cusp in the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) vs stress and the absence of a resolvable specific heat anomaly at TRSB transition temperature (TTRSB) under uniaxial stress challenge a hypothesis of TRSB superconductivity. Recent μSR studies under pressure and with disorder indicate that the splitting between Tc and TTRSB occurs only when the structural tetragonal symmetry is broken. To further test such behavior, we measured Tc through susceptibility measurements and TTRSB through μSR, under uniaxial stress applied along a ⟨110⟩ lattice direction. We have obtained preliminary evidence for suppression of TTRSB below Tc, at a rate much higher than the suppression rate of Tc.

%X Muon spin rotation/relaxation (μSR) and polar Kerr effect measurements provide evidence for a time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB) superconducting state in Sr2RuO4. However, the absence of a cusp in the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) vs stress and the absence of a resolvable specific heat anomaly at TRSB transition temperature (TTRSB) under uniaxial stress challenge a hypothesis of TRSB superconductivity. Recent μSR studies under pressure and with disorder indicate that the splitting between Tc and TTRSB occurs only when the structural tetragonal symmetry is broken. To further test such behavior, we measured Tc through susceptibility measurements and TTRSB through μSR, under uniaxial stress applied along a ⟨110⟩ lattice direction. We have obtained preliminary evidence for suppression of TTRSB below Tc, at a rate much higher than the suppression rate of Tc.
