Anisotropic field-induced changes in the superconducting order parameter of UTe2
Magnetic-field-dependent heat capacity measurements are carried out on an ultrapure sample of the UTe2 superconductor along different crystallographic directions. By analyzing the resulting field-dependent residual Sommerfeld coefficients, a case is made that 𝐵2𝑢 is the primary superconducting order parameter in UTe2.

Normal Fermi Surface in the Nodal Superconductor CeCoIn5 Revealed via Thermal Conductivity
In CeCoIn₅, thermal conductivity measured under a rotating magnetic field shows a sharp resonance at a specific angle, consistent across different heat current directions. This indicates the resonance originates from the Fermi surface structure. The effect is attributed to uncondensed Landau quasiparticles induced by the magnetic field. Supporting DFT calculations reveal angle-dependent peaks in the density of states, demonstrating that rotating-field thermal conductivity can probe the normal Fermi surface within the superconducting state.
