Phase transition in the cuprates from a magnetic-field-free stiffness meter viewpoint

Precise measurements of the superconducting stiffness tensor can give detailed insights into the superconductor-normal phase transition. Kapon et al. introduce the Stiffnessometer approach for sensitive magnetic-field-free measurements and find two transition temperatures in LSCO rings.
