Abstract

The heavy fermion compound URu_{2}Si_{2} continues to attract great interest due to the unidentified hidden order it develops below 17.5 K. The unique Ising character of the spin fluctuations and low-temperature quasiparticles is well established. We present detailed measurements of the angular anisotropy of the nonlinear magnetization that reveal a cos^{4}θ Ising anisotropy both at and above the ordering transition. With Landau theory, we show this implies a strongly Ising character of the itinerant hidden order parameter.

摘要

重费米子化合物URu₂Si₂因其在17.5K以下出现的未确定的隐藏序而持续吸引着极大的关注。自旋涨落和低温准粒子的独特伊辛特性已得到充分证实。我们给出了非线性磁化强度角向各向异性的详细测量结果，这些结果揭示了在有序转变温度及以上均存在cos⁴θ伊辛各向异性。利用朗道理论，我们表明这意味着巡游隐藏序参量具有很强的伊辛特性。
