(color online) (a) The cubic (black squares) and quadratic (red circles) components in the uniaxial pressure dependence of resistance of the x = 0.64 sample at 135 K. (b) Illustration on how the quadratic term may be wrongly. The blue line is a linear fit to the cubic function of x + x3 (black squares). The red circles are subtracted results from the cubic function by the linear fit result. The cyan line is fitted by the quadratic function. (c) Uniaxial pressure dependence of the nonlinear part of the resistance for the x = 0.64 sample. The solid lines are fitted by Eq. (15). The numbers in the label are temperatures with the unit of Kelvin. (d) Temperature dependence of γ for the x = 0.64 sample. The solid line is fitted by Eq. (16).
