Hydrostaticity and hidden order: effects of experimental conditions on the temperature-pressure phase diagram of URu2Si2
نویسندگان
چکیده
The pressure-dependence of the hidden order phase transition of URu2Si2 is shown to depend sensitively upon the quality of hydrostatic pressure conditions during electrical resistivity measurements. Hysteresis in pressure is demonstrated for two choices of pressure medium: the commonly-used mixture of 1:1 Fluorinert FC70/FC77 and pure FC75. In contrast, no hysteresis is observed when the pressure medium is a 1:1 mixture of n-pentane/isoamyl alcohol, as it remains hydrostatic over the entire studied pressure range. Possible ramifications for the interpretation of the temperature-pressure phase diagram of URu2Si2 are discussed.

On the possibility of octupolar order in URu2Si2
Recent experiments on URu2Si2 show that the low-pressure hidden order is non-magnetic but it breaks time reversal invariance. Restricting our attention to local order parameters of 5f shells, we find that the best candidate for hidden order is staggered order of either T β z or Txyz octupoles. Group theoretical arguments for the effect of symmetry-lowering perturbations (magnetic field, mechani...
متن کاملWeak magnetism phenomena in heavy-fermion superconductors: selected μSR studies
The behavior of the so-called weak moment antiferromagnetic states, observed in the heavy-fermion superconductors UPt3 and URu2Si2, is discussed in view of recent μSR results obtained as function of control parameters like chemical substitution and external pressure. In UPt3, the Pd substitution for Pt reveals the dynamical character of the weak moment order. On the other hand, μSR measurements...
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 ...
متن کاملOn the destruction of the hidden order in URu2Si2 by a strong magnetic field
We present a study of transport properties of the heavy fermion URu2Si2 in pulsed magnetic field. The large Nernst response of the hidden order state is found to be suppressed when the magnetic field exceeds 35 T. The combination of resistivity, Hall and Nernst data outlines the reconstruction of the Fermi surface in the temperature-field phase diagram. The zero-field ground state is a compensa...
متن کاملEffects of the Residual Stress and Bias Voltage on the Phase Diagram and Frequency Response of a Capacitive Micro-Structure
In this paper, static and dynamic behavior of a varactor of a micro-phase shifter under DC, step DC and AC voltages and effects of the residual stress on the phase diagram have been studied. By presenting a mathematical modeling, Galerkin-based step by step linearization method (SSLM) and Galerkin-based reduced order model have been used to solve the governing static and dynamic equations, resp...
