Sleuthing Hidden Order

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2007-10-08 v1 Superconductivity

Abstract

Physicists have long debated whether the hidden order in URu2Si2 is itinerant or localized, and it remains inaccessible to direct external probes. Recent observation of an overdamped collective mode in this material (C. Weibe et al, Nature Physics 3, 96-100 (2007)), appears to resolve this outstanding issue.
