Strain-engineering Mott-insulating La2CuO4

The optimal condition for superconductivity is a long-sought issue but remains challenging. Here, Ivashko et al. demonstrate that the compressive strain to La2CuO4 films enhances the Coulomb and magnetic-exchange interactions relevant for superconductivity, providing a strategy to optimise the paren...
