Fig. 1: Setup for hydrostatic pressure experiments.

a Sr2RuO4 sample, consisting of semi-cylindrical pieces glued on oxygen-free copper foils. The top and the bottom panels are the front and the side view, respectively. The crossed circle and the arrow indicate the orientation of the c-axis. b Construction of the pressure cell34. The sample and the pressure medium are surrounded only by beryllium-copper (the pressure cell body and the teflon cap support). The parts of the cell with strong μSR response (teflon cap and tungsten carbide piston) are far from the sample and outside of the muon beam. The initial muon spin polarisation Pμ(0) and the external field Bext in TF-μSR measurements are aligned along the x- and y-axes, respectively. By rotating the cell about the z-axis, the angle between Pμ(0) and the sample c-axis can be varied.
