Title: Normal State O 17 NMR Studies of Sr 2 RuO 4 under Uniaxial Stress

Abstract

The effects of uniaxial compressive stress on the normal state 17O nuclear-magnetic-resonance properties of the unconventional superconductor Sr2RuO4 are reported. The paramagnetic shifts of both planar and apical oxygen sites show pronounced anomalies near the nominal a-axis strain εaa ≡ εv that maximizes the superconducting transition temperature Tc. The spin susceptibility weakly increases on lowering the temperature below T ≃ 10 K, consistent with an enhanced density of states associated with passing the Fermi energy through a van Hove singularity. Although such a Lifshitz transition occurs in the γ band formed by the Ru dxy states hybridized with in-plane O pπ orbitals, the large Hund’s coupling renormalizes the uniform spin susceptibility, which, in turn, affects the hyperfine fields of all nuclei. We estimate this “Stoner” renormalization S by combining the data with first-principles calculations and conclude that this is an important part of the strain effect, with implications for superconductivity.
