Abstract

We report on a new uniaxial pressure experimental setup for electrical resistivity measurements working in a 77 K-500 K temperature range and in a magnetic field up to 8 T. Such a continuous uniaxial pressure device enables the study of the piezoresistance and the pressure induced change in electrical properties of bulk samples. Strong influence of uniaxial pressure on transport properties is shown for Ni-Co-Mn-In Heusler single crystal material. A shift of the martensite-austenite first order transformation temperature is measured with an applied uniaxial pressure leading to an electrical resistance changed by up to 120%.
