Point contacts on trigonal PtBi2 exhibit enhanced superconductivity with Tc up to 8 K, likely due to local strain from contact formation, observed with both normal and ferromagnetic tips and stronger at sample edges.
This naturally implies the use of non-hydrostatic pressure, bearing in mind that deformation along the plane can cause a higher Tc rise

Point-contact enhanced superconductivity in trigonal PtBi2: quest for the origin of high-Tc
Point contacts on trigonal PtBi2 exhibit enhanced superconductivity with Tc up to 8 K, likely due to local strain from contact formation, observed with both normal and ferromagnetic tips and stronger at sample edges.
