Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability01:31

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability

1.4K
In linear magnetic materials, like paramagnets and diamagnets, magnetization is proportional to the magnetic field intensity. The constant of proportionality, a dimensionless number, is called magnetic susceptibility. The value of the susceptibility depends on the type of material.
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...

Types Of Superconductors

1.1K
A superconductor is a substance that offers zero resistance to the electric current when it drops below a critical temperature. Zero resistance is not the only interesting phenomenon as materials reach their transition temperatures. A second effect is the exclusion of magnetic fields. This is known as the Meissner effect. A light, permanent magnet placed over a superconducting sample will levitate in a stable position above the superconductor. High-speed trains that levitate on strong...

Ferromagnetism

2.5K
Materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt consist of magnetic domains, within which the magnetic dipoles are arranged parallel to each other. The magnetic dipoles are rigidly aligned in the same direction within a domain by quantum mechanical coupling among the atoms. This coupling is so strong that even thermal agitation at room temperature cannot break it. The result is that each domain has a net dipole moment. However, some materials have weaker coupling, and are ferromagnetic at lower...

Superconductor

1.2K
A substance that reaches superconductivity, a state in which magnetic fields cannot penetrate, and there is no electrical resistance, is referred to as a superconductor. In 1911, Heike Kamerlingh Onnes of Leiden University, a Dutch physicist, observed a relation between the temperature and the resistance of the element mercury. The mercury sample was then cooled in liquid helium to study the linear dependence of resistance on temperature. It was observed that, as the temperature decreased, the...

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges01:23

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges

9.3K
A stationary charge creates and interacts with the electric field, while a moving charge creates a magnetic field.
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...

Paramagnetism01:30

Paramagnetism

2.6K
Paramagnets are materials with unpaired electrons that possess a finite magnetic moment. In the absence of a magnetic field, these moments are randomly oriented, and thus the net moment is zero. Under an external field, a torque acting on the moments tends to align them along the field's direction. However, the random thermal motion of electrons produces a torque opposite to the external field and tries to disorient the moments. These two competing effects align only a few moments along the...

Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Superconductivity Research

Background:

  • The heavy fermion compound Uranium Ditelluride (UTe2) exhibits a complex phase diagram with multiple superconducting phases.
  • Some superconducting phases in UTe2 display characteristics suggestive of odd-parity pairing.
  • Understanding the pressure-dependent behavior of UTe2 is crucial for elucidating its exotic superconducting properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the pressure dependence of superconducting transitions in high-quality UTe2 crystals.
  • To identify changes in the superconducting order parameter under varying pressure conditions.
  • To explore the possibility of multicomponent superconductivity in UTe2 at high pressures.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized magnetic susceptibility (χ(T)) measurements to track superconducting transitions.
  • Applied hydrostatic pressure to high-quality UTe2 single crystals.
  • Correlated magnetic susceptibility data with previous specific heat measurements.

Main Results:

  • Observed a single, sharp superconducting transition at low pressures (<0.3 GPa).
  • Detected a second, distinct superconducting transition anomaly at higher pressures in the magnetic susceptibility.
  • This anomaly is linked to a step change in London penetration depth, indicating a change in the superconducting order parameter.

Conclusions:

  • The high-pressure superconducting state in UTe2 is thermodynamically distinct from the zero-pressure state.
  • The newly identified low-temperature, high-pressure superconducting state differs from the high-pressure, high-temperature state.
  • These findings strongly suggest the existence of multicomponent superconductivity in UTe2 under high pressure.
