Summary

The authors show that epitaxial strain in thin films of copper oxide superconductors could in principle generate much larger increases in the critical temperature than obtained by comparable hydrostatic pressures. They demonstrate the experimental feasibility of this approach for the compound LSCO. Furthermore, the resistive behaviour at low temperatures (but above critical temperature) of the strained samples changes markedly, going from insulating to metallic.
