✦ Synopsis

The superconducting transition temperature To of 2H NbSe 2 was measured under uniaxial stress applied parallel to the crystal c axis. It was found that T c decreases as the increasing applied compression, while it increases under hydrostatic pressure. It is concluded that Tr is strongly enhanced by the contractive strain within layers and is insensitive to the interlayer spacing,
