Measuring the critical field anisotropy of UTe<sub>2</sub>

ORAL

Abstract

The candidate spin-triplet superconductor UTe2 is of interest both for its fundamental electronic properties and its potential applications in quantum computing. Among the intriguing properties of UTe2 is the strong variation of its upper critical field, depending on the direction of the applied field with relation to its crystal axes. In this talk we will share some measurements of the anisotropy of the upper critical field of UTe2 and explain their relevance in the context of the overall phase diagram of UTe2.
