b -axis and c -axis Knight shift measurements in the superconducting state on ultraclean UTe 2 with T c = 2.1 K
Source abstract
Abstract
Knight shifts along the $b$ and $c$ axes $({K}b \text{and} {K}c)$ at two crystallographically distinct Te sites were measured down to 70 mK using $125\mathrm{Te}$ nuclear magnetic resonance on an ultraclean ${\mathrm{UTe}}2$ single crystal with a superconducting (SC) transition temperature ${T}c=2.1$ K. This was carried out to determine the $\mathbit{d}$-vector components, which are the order parameter in the spin-triplet pairing. Although the decrease in ${K}b$ and ${K}c$ is comparable to the theoretical estimation of the SC diamagnetic shielding effect, it is confirmed, by taking the difference between two Knight shifts at the distinct Te sites, that the spin susceptibility along the $b$ and $c$ axes decreases in the SC state. Taking into account the large decrease in ${K}a$ in the SC state, we conclude that the $\mathbit{d}$ vector has components along all three crystal axes.
