Here, we present experimental data and phenomenological modeling on the control of T-C of superconducting (SC) Nb thin films, with thickness 3 nm &lt;= d(Nb) &lt;= 50 nm, under the application of in-plane strain, S(E-ex) induced by an external out-of-plane electric field, E-ex to piezoelectric (PE) single crystals, namely, (1 - x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3-xPbTiO(3) (PMN-xPT), with x = 0.27 and 0.31. We report experimental modification of TC of Nb by E-ex, accurately described by a phenomenological model that incorporates the constitutive relation S(E-ex) of PMN-xPT. The systematic experimental-phenomenological modeling approach introduced here is generic and paves the way for an understanding of the underlying physical mechanisms in any SC/PE hybrid.
