Abstract

The compound UTe_{2} has recently been shown to realize spin triplet superconductivity from a nonmagnetic normal state. This has sparked intense research activity, including theoretical analyses that suggest the superconducting order parameter to be topologically nontrivial. However, the underlying electronic band structure is a critical factor for these analyses, and remains poorly understood. Here, we present high resolution angle-resolved photoemission measurements covering multiple planes in the 3D Brillouin zone of UTe_{2}, revealing distinct Fermi-level features from two orthogonal quasi-one-dimensional light electron bands and one heavy band. The electronic symmetries are evaluated in comparison with numerical simulations, and the resulting picture is discussed as a platform for unconventional many-body order.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • A low-dimensional electronic structure is usually assumed for models of superconductivity near the quantum limit, and such a structure could not be inferred in UTe2 from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.

    “Moreover, a low-dimensional electronic structure is usually assumed for models of superconductivity near the quantum limit43, and such a structure could not be inferred in UTe2 from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy57.”

    The claim attached to this citation says ARPES could not reveal a low-dimensional electronic structure in UTe2. The paper says the opposite: its summary (p. 5) reports that ARPES measurements revealed two light quasi-one-dimensional bands at the Fermi level. (LLM, conf=0.90)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
