Exotic vortex dynamics in the triplet superconductor UTe2

ORAL

Abstract

The strongly correlated paramagnet UTe2 hosts a wealth of exotic physical behavior, including numerous magnetic field-induced superconducting states. While several studies have sought to map the boundaries of the exotic menagerie of emergent electronic phases that span the multi-dimensional magnetic field-angle-temperature phase landscape of UTe2, relatively little effort has been deployed to exploring regions in which distinct superconductive states overlap. Here we report measurements of anomalous vortex dynamics in such a region where two superconductive phases appear to coexist, and discuss how these findings may pave the way for future applications in quantum information processing and superconducting device technologies.
