One potential pairing mechanism, invoked in the related re-entrant superconductors UCoGe and URhGe, involves transverse fluctuations of a ferromagnetic order parameter. However, the requisite ferromagnetic order - present in both UCoGe and URhGe - is absent in UTe2, and magnetization measurements show no sign of strong fluctuations. Here, we measure the magnetotropic susceptibility of UTe2 across two field-angle planes. This quantity is sensitive to the magnetic susceptibility in a direction transverse to the applied magnetic field - a quantity that is not accessed in conventional magnetization measurements. We observe a very large decrease in the magnetotropic susceptibility over a broad range of field orientations, indicating a large increase in the transverse magnetic susceptibility. The three superconducting phases of UTe2, including the high-field re-entrant phase, surround this region of enhanced susceptibility in the field-angle phase diagram. The strongest transverse susceptibility is found near the critical end point of the high-field metamagnetic transition, suggesting that quantum critical fluctuations of a field-induced magnetic order parameter may be responsible for the large transverse susceptibility, and may provide a pairing mechanism for field-induced superconductivity in UTe2.","lang":"eng"}],"tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"article_processing_charge":"Yes","oa":1,"author":[{"orcid":"0000-0001-9760-3147","first_name":"Kimberly A","id":"13C26AC0-EB69-11E9-87C6-5F3BE6697425","full_name":"Modic, Kimberly A","last_name":"Modic"}],"publisher":"Institute of Science and Technology Austria","date_updated":"2026-05-11T06:35:59Z","month":"02","date_published":"2026-02-19T00:00:00Z","type":"research_data","file_date_updated":"2026-02-19T07:39:07Z","_id":"21174","oa_version":"Published Version","title":"Research data for \"Giant transverse magnetic fluctuations at the edge of re-entrant superconductivity in UTe2\"","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"used_in_publication","id":"21845","status":"public"}],"link":[{"url":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08984","relation":"preprint"}]},"project":[{"grant_number":"101078696","_id":"bd968c70-d553-11ed-ba76-cde40b0aba64","name":"Gaining leverage with spin liquids and superconductors"}],"citation":{"ieee":"K.
