NMR Study of the Spin-triplet Superconductor UTe<sub>2</sub>

ORAL

Abstract

Recently, spin-triplet superconductivity has been discovered in nearly ferromagnetic (FM) heavy fermion UTe2 [1]. Here, we report the 125Te nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of UTe2 in both the normal and superconducting (SC) states. The magnetic fluctuations in the normal state, and the SC gap information in the SC state has been revealed. We will also discuss the relationship between FM spin fluctuations and superconductivity in UTe2.
