When matter is cooled from high temperatures, collective instabilities develop amongst its constituent particles that lead to new kinds of order. An anomaly in the specific heat is a classic signature of this phenomenon. Usually the associated order is easily identified, but sometimes its nature remains elusive. The heavy fermion metal URu2Si2 is one such example, where the order responsible fo...
متن کاملUnfolding the physics of URu2Si2 through silicon to phosphorus substitution.
The heavy fermion intermetallic compound URu2Si2 exhibits a hidden-order phase below the temperature of 17.5 K, which supports both anomalous metallic behavior and unconventional superconductivity. While these individual phenomena have been investigated in detail, it remains unclear how they are related to each other and to what extent uranium f-electron valence fluctuations influence each one....
متن کاملPair-breaking and superconducting state recovery dynamics in MgB2.
We present studies of the photoexcited quasiparticle dynamics in MgB2 where, using femtosecond optical techniques, Cooper pair-breaking dynamics (PBD) have been temporally resolved for the first time. The PBD are strongly temperature and photoexcitation intensity dependent. Analysis of the PBD using the Rothwarf-Taylor equations suggests that the anomalous PBD arises from the fact that in MgB2 ...
متن کاملThe role of band filling in tuning the high field phases of URu2Si2
We present a detailed study of the low temperature and high magnetic field phases in the chemical substitution series URu2Si2−xPx using electrical transport and magnetization in pulsed magnetic fields up to 65T. Within the hidden order region (0 < x < 0.035) the high field ordering is robust even as the hidden order temperature is suppressed. Earlier work shows that for 0.035 < x < 0.26 there i...
متن کاملField-induced spin-density wave beyond hidden order in URu2Si2
URu2Si2 is one of the most enigmatic strongly correlated electron systems and offers a fertile testing ground for new concepts in condensed matter science. In spite of >30 years of intense research, no consensus on the order parameter of its low-temperature hidden-order phase exists. A strong magnetic field transforms the hidden order into magnetically ordered phases, whose order parameter has ...
