Comparison of two superconducting phases induced by a magnetic field in UTe2

In a magnetic field, superconductivity can be induced or reinforced near a metamagnetic transition, where ferromagnetic fluctuations are suspected to mediate the pairing strength of the Cooper pairs. Here, the authors investigate the superconductor UTe2 and report on the variation in the superconduc...

description In a magnetic field, superconductivity can be induced or reinforced near a metamagnetic transition, where ferromagnetic fluctuations are suspected to mediate the pairing strength of the Cooper pairs. Here, the authors investigate the superconductor UTe2 and report on the variation in the superconducting properties as the magnetic field is applied along two particular crystallographic axes and their relation to metamagnetism.
