We further find the anomaly in the heat capacity at To to be significantly sharper than a BCS phase transition, and, once quasiparticle excitations across the hybridization gap are taken into consideration, loses its resemblance to a second order phase transition.

With increased order comes loss of symmetry; water in its liquid form will look the same however you rotate it, whereas ice will not. Kung et al. studied the symmetry properties of a mysteriously ordered phase of the material URu2Si2 that appears at 17.5 K. They shone laser light on the crystal and studied the shifts in the frequency of the light. The electron orbitals of the uranium had a handedness to them that alternated between the atomic layers. Science, this issue p. 1339 A second-order phase transition in a physical system is associated with the emergence of an ``order parameter'' and a spontaneous symmetry breaking. The heavy fermion superconductor URu2Si2 has a ``hidden order'' (HO) phase below the temperature of 17.5 kelvin; the symmetry of the associated order parameter has remained ambiguous. Here we use polarization-resolved Raman spectroscopy to specify the symmetry of the low-energy excitations above and below the HO transition. We determine that the HO parameter breaks local vertical and diagonal reflection symmetries at the uranium sites, resulting in crystal field states with distinct chiral properties, which order to a commensurate chirality density wave ground state.

Based on localized f -electron picture, we discuss the rationale of the selected multipole and the consequences of the antiferro hexadecapole order of x y ( x 2 - y 2 ) symmetry. The mean-field solutions and the collective excitations from them explain reasonably significant experimental observations: the strong anisotropy in the magnetic susceptibility, characteristic behavior of pressure versus magnetic field or temperature phase diagrams, disappearance of inelastic neutron-scattering intensity out of the hidden order phase, and insensitiveness of the NQR frequency at Ru-sites upon ordering. A consistency with the strong anisotropy in the magnetic responses excludes all the multipoles in two-dimensional representations, such as ( O y z , O z x ). The expected azimuthal angle dependences of the resonant X-ray scattering amplitude are given. The ( x 2 - y 2 )-type antiferro quadrupole should be induced by an in-plane magnetic field along [110], which is reflected in the thermal expansion and the elastic constant of the transverse ( c 11 - c 12 )/2 mode. The ( x 2 - y 2 )-type [( x y )-type] antiferro quadrupole is also induced by applying the uniaxial stress along [110] direction [[100] direction].

One prominent example is provided by the heavy-fermion material URu2Si2. At high temperature, the 5f electrons of uranium carry a very large entropy. This entropy is released at 17.5 K by means of a second-order phase transition1 to a state that remains shrouded in mystery, termed a `hidden order' state2. Here, we develop a first-principles theoretical method to analyse the electronic spectrum of correlated materials as a function of the position inside the unit cell of the crystal and use it to identify the low-energy excitations of URu2Si2. We identify the order parameter of the hidden-order state and show that it is intimately connected to magnetism. Below 70 K, the 5f electrons undergo a multichannel Kondo effect, which is `arrested' at low temperature by the crystal-field splitting. At lower temperatures, two broken-symmetry states emerge, characterized by a complex order parameter {$\psi$}. A real {$\psi$} describes the hidden-order phase and an imaginary {$\psi$} corresponds to the large-moment antiferromagnetic phase.

A previously observed twofold contribution of Si NMR linewidth is concluded to be due to extrinsic magnetic centers. Since the U and Si sites are aligned along the c axis, we conclude further that the electronic state shows fourfold symmetry around the U site below the hidden-order transition. From this observed local symmetry, possible space groups for the hidden-order state are P4/nnc or I4/m, based on group theoretical considerations.
