Abstract
I hope that during the course of this thesis I have demonstrated that the new uniaxial stress technique that I describe is now coming out of its infancy. The first successful adaptation of the device by another group has now been reported, and used by Stern et al. [1] to study Sm\(\mathrm{B}_6\) under strain.
