Abstract

Uranium ditelluride (UTe<sub>2</sub>) hosts a rare form of low-temperature superconductivity that involves spin-triplet pairing and may be topologically nontrivial. Multiple superconducting phases can be stabilized through the application of large magnetic fields or modest pressure. A dramatic example of reentrant superconductivity, dubbed the “Lazarus” phase, is stabilized at fields greater than 40T, persisting to higher than 65T. In this talk, I will discuss recent experimental developments in the study of the high field superconductivity.
