Field-angle-resolved heat transport in UTe2: determination of nodal positions in the superconducting order parameter
Nature ·
The Brief
- A study reports field-angle-resolved heat transport measurements on the superconductor UTe2.
- The measurements are used to determine the positions of nodes in the superconducting order parameter.
- The source feed provides only the title and link, so further experimental details are not available here.
Why it matters
Mapping where the superconducting order parameter vanishes (its nodes) helps physicists identify the pairing symmetry of an unconventional superconductor, which constrains theories of how it forms.
