Enhancement and Discontinuity of Effective Mass through the First-Order Metamagnetic Transition in UTe${}_2$

Abstract

Metamagnetic transitions in the novel spin-triplet superconductor UTe${}_2$ were investigated through the newly developed simultaneous measurements of magnetization and sample temperature for the field along the orthorhombic $b$-axis and close to the [011] direction, where reentrant superconductivity (RSC) is detected below and above the first-order metamagnetic transition field $H_{\mathrm{m}}$. Combining the Maxwell's relation and the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, we obtained the field dependence of Sommerfeld coefficient $\gamma$ through the first-order metamagnetic transition. A significant enhancement of the effective mass toward $H_{\mathrm{m}}$ were detected for both field directions. On the other hand, above $H_{\mathrm{m}}$, the effective mass discontinuously decreases for $H||b$, while it discontinuously increases for $H||\sim [011]$, which seems to make a crucial role for the RSC.
