"Uranium Ditelluride: Superconducting in High Magnetic Fields"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Phys.org

A team of researchers has discovered why uranium ditelluride (UTe2) continues to exhibit superconductivity even in extremely high magnetic fields, a property missing in conventional superconductors. The material's potential for technological applications has been highlighted, as it exhibits a critical magnetic-field strength of 73 tesla at a transition temperature of 1.6 kelvin, setting a record ratio of 45. Despite being unsuitable for practical applications due to its properties and radioactivity, UTe2 is valuable for exploring the physics behind spin-triplet superconductivity. The researchers developed a model to explain the material's superconductivity and are working on developing novel techniques to provide definitive proof.
