摘要
UTe 2 is a newly-discovered unconventional superconductor wherein multicomponent topological superconductivity is anticipated based on the presence of two superconducting transitions and time-reversal symmetry breaking in the superconducting state. The observation of two superconducting transitions, however, remains controversial. Here we demonstrate that UTe 2 single crystals displaying an optimal superconducting transition temperature at 2 K exhibit a single transition and remarkably high quality supported by their large residual resistance ratio and small residual heat capacity in the superconducting state. Our results shed light on the intrinsic superconducting properties of UTe 2 and bring into question whether UTe 2 is a multicomponent superconductor at ambient pressure.
