Uranium compound achieves record anomalous Nernst conductivity

Caption

Research published in Science Advances has found that large spin-orbit coupling and strong electronic correlations in a system of uranium-cobalt-aluminum doped with ruthenium resulted in a colossal anomalous Nernst conductivity. Uranium and actinide alloys are promising materials to study the interplay among a material's topology and strong electron correlations, which could someday have applications in quantum information technologies.
