Abstract
Systematic uniaxial strain studies of (formula presented) (formula presented) have been carried out. By controlling the in-plane lattice parameters a and c independently, we find that both compounds have essentially the same phase diagram in electronic properties, although, under the hydrostatic pressures, they show quite different phase diagrams. The K salt shows the superconductivity like (formula presented) salt under the c-axis uniaxial strain, and the latter undergoes a transition to the density-wave state like the former under the a-axis uniaxial strain. These changes in electronic structures are verified by measuring the angle-dependent magnetoresistance. The electronic properties of these compounds can be systematically understood as a function of (formula presented) the ratio of the in-plane lattice parameters.
