Uranium Ditelluride Could be Spin Triplet Superconductor and Is a New Wonder Material | NextBigFuture.com

Uranium di-telluride could be a wonder material for insanely powerful magnets and it could become the basis of next generation quantum computers. UTe2 might be the long-sought-after spin-triplet superconductor. The reason is very simple. If the spins of the electrons in the Cooper pair have opposite directions and we apply a magnetic field, it will flip one of the spins to make it the same direction as the magnetic field. Therefore, the Cooper pair is broken, and superconductivity is suppressed. However, if the spins already have the same direction, they can both remain in the direction in the magnetic field
