Triplet Pairing Mechanisms from Hund?s-Kondo Models: Applications to UTe2 and CeRh2As2

Tamaghna Hazra et al.

Summary: Observing a common structural motif in several U and Ce based candidate triplet superconductors, where pairs of magnetic atoms are separated by an inversion center, we propose a unique triplet pairing mechanism based on an interplay of Hund's and Kondo interactions. Hund's interactions generate valence fluctuations, leading to a triplet superexchange between electrons and local moments. The resulting Kondo effect allows spin-triplet pairs to delocalize onto the Fermi surface, triggering superconductivity. We demonstrate this mechanism using a minimal two-channel Kondo lattice model and provide support from existing experiments.

Effect of uranium deficiency on normal and superconducting properties in unconventional superconductor UTe2

Y. Haga et al.

Summary: Single crystals of the unconventional superconductor UTe2 have been grown under different conditions, resulting in different superconducting transition temperatures and normal state properties. The stoichiometry of the samples has been accurately characterized, with the superconducting samples being nearly stoichiometric and the non-superconducting sample deviating significantly. The superconducting UTe2 exhibits partially gapped large density of states in the normal state, while the non-superconducting sample is characterized by a relatively large electronic specific heat.

Slow Electronic Dynamics in the Paramagnetic State of UTe2

Yo Tokunaga et al.

Summary: Te-125 NMR experiments in UTe2 reveal slow electronic dynamics in the paramagnetic state, which are associated with the growth of long-range electronic correlations at low temperatures. The experiments also show that disorder or defects disturb the long-range electronic correlations, leading to an inhomogeneous electronic state.

Symmetry of magnetic correlations in spin-triplet superconductor UTe2

Nicholas P. Butch et al.

Summary: The temperature dependence of low-energy magnetic excitations in the spin-triplet superconductor UTe2 was measured via inelastic neutron scattering in both normal and superconducting states. These excitations follow a specific behavior that can be explained by interband correlations in a hybridized Kondo lattice, and show notable changes in the superconducting state.

c-axis transport in UTe2: Evidence of three-dimensional conductivity component

Yun Suk Eo et al.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the temperature dependence of electrical resistivity in the spin-triplet superconductor UTe2 along different crystallographic axes. Surprisingly, we find that the resistivities in all current directions exhibit a nearly isotropic transport behavior above the Kondo coherence temperature, despite the highly anisotropic band structure. However, distinct behaviors are observed upon cooling. The temperature dependence of the resistivity along the c axis shows a peak at a much lower temperature than that of the resistivity along the a and b axes, indicating a magnetic origin. Comparing these findings with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments provides valuable insights into the underlying electronic structure for building a microscopic model of superconductivity in UTe2.

Multicomponent superconducting order parameter in UTe2

I. M. Hayes et al.

Summary: The superconductivity in UTe2 is characterized by a two-component order parameter that breaks time-reversal symmetry, as shown by observations of a nonzero polar Kerr effect and two transitions in specific heat. These findings place constraints on the symmetries of the order parameter and contribute to the discussion on the presence of topological superconductivity in UTe2.

Thermodynamic signatures of short-range magnetic correlations in UTe2

Kristin Willa et al.

Summary: The investigation of the normal state preceding unconventional superconductivity in UTe2 revealed a Schottky-like anomaly with approximately R ln(2) entropy, indicating a common origin with ferromagnetic superconductor URhGe. The comparison of electronic Gruneisen parameters and metamagnetic transition parameters suggested a similarity between the two phenomena, along with the presence of short-range ferromagnetic fluctuations. Enhanced Wilson and Korringa ratios further supported the potential existence of these fluctuations.
