Stabilization of U 5$f^2$ configuration in UTe${}_2$ through U 6d dimers in the presence of Te2 chains

Denise S. Christovam, Martin Sundermann, Andrea Marino +16

We investigate the topological superconductor candidate UTe${}_2$ using high-resolution valence-band resonant inelastic x-ray scattering at the U $M_{4,5}$-edges. We observe atomic-l…
