Low Energy Band Structure and Symmetries of UTe2 from Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy

2020 
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.
