It begins with a comprehensive and didactic account of how to achieve this sculpting, revealing the ‘tricks of the trade’ of state-of-the-art FIB microstructuring. In subsequent chapters, the author presents ground-breaking results obtained from microstructures of the delafossite oxide metal PdCoO2 and the heavy fermion superconductor CeIrIn5. In these elegant, forefront experiments, a new form of directional ballistic transport in the ultra-pure delafossites is described and explained. Furthermore, a new way to spatially modulate superconductivity induced by strain is demonstrated with electrical transport measurements that agree well with predictions based on thermoelastic finite element simulations.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053SuperconductivitySuperconductorsMaterials scienceStrongly Correlated Systems, Superconductivityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25064Materials Science, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z00000Superconductivity.Superconductors.Materials science.Strongly Correlated Systems, Superconductivity.Materials Science, general.621.38152Bachmann Maja Dauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1063555MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910416140403321Manipulating Anisotropic Transport and Superconductivity by Focused Ion Beam Microstructuring2532978UNINA
