AI总结:

本研究通过量子振荡测量首次在实验中证实了自旋三重态超导体UTe₂中存在相对各向同性的小三维费米面口袋,还观测到电子-空穴隧穿对应的高频量子振荡,为相关理论模型提供检验平台,助力统一理解其超导态。

摘要:

自旋三重态超导体UTe$_{2}$被广泛认为具有准二维费米面,这一结论已通过第一性原理计算、光电子能谱及量子振荡测量得到验证。目前仍存在一个悬而未决的关键问题:三维费米面口袋是否存在?这对我们理解UTe$_{2}$的奇异超导特性与拓扑性质至关重要。该三维费米面口袋曾出现在多种具有不同物理起源的理论模型中,但始终未被实验探测到。本文首次通过量子振荡测量,为UTe$_{2}$中存在一个相对各向同性的小费米面口袋提供了确凿证据。此外,我们还观测到了对应于相邻电子口袋与空穴口袋之间电子-空穴隧穿的高频量子振荡。二维与三维费米面口袋的共存以及击穿轨道,为理论模型提供了检验平台,有助于通过第一性原理方法实现对UTe$_{2}$超导态的统一理解。

英文摘要:

Spin triplet superconductor UTe$_{2}$ is widely believed to host a quasi-two-dimensional Fermi surface, revealed by first principal calculations, photoemission and quantum oscillation measurements. An outstanding question still remains as to the existence of a three-dimensional Fermi surface pocket, which is crucial for our understanding of the exotic superconducting and topological properties of UTe$_{2}$. This 3D Fermi surface pocket appears in various theoretical models with different physics origins but has not been detected experimentally. Here for the first time, we provide concrete evidence for a relatively isotropic, small Fermi surface pocket of UTe$_{2}$ via quantum oscillation measurements. In addition, we observed high frequency quantum oscillations corresponding to electron-hole tunneling between adjacent electron and hole pockets. The coexistence of 2D and 3D Fermi surface pockets, as well as the breakdown orbits, provides a test bed for theoretical models and aid the realization of a unified understanding of superconducting state of UTe$_{2}$ from the first-principles approach.
