| Abstract Scope |
Uranium ditelluride hosts an unusual form of spin-triplet superconductivity. Even though it is a seemingly simple paramagnet under ambient conditions, applied pressure and magnetic field give rise to a rich variety of ordered phases, including multiple superconductors. Much attention is currently focused on identifying the order parameter in the zero-field superconducting phase due to the possibility of a topological order parameter that could lead to fault-tolerant qubits. On the other hand, the high magnetic field superconductivity is particularly striking and unprecedented. I will discuss the latest experimental results from ongoing studies of the superconductivity and its relationship to underlying f-electron interactions. |
