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 5f2 shells, we find that the best candidate for hidden…
An antiferro ordering of an electric hexadecapole moment is discussed as a promising candidate for the long standing mystery of the hidden order phase in URu$_{2}$Si$_{2}$. Based on localized $f$-electron picture, we discuss the rationale…
We studied in detail the low temperature/high magnetic field phases of URu$_{2}$Si$_{2}$ single crystals with specific heat, magnetocaloric effect, and magnetoresistance in magnetic fields up to 45 T. Data obtained down to 0.5 K, and…
We propose a candidate for the hidden order in URu2Si2: a rank-5 E type spin density wave between Uranium 5f crystal field doublets breaking time reversal and lattice tetragonal symmetry in a manner consistent with recent torque…
d- and f-shells support a large number of local degrees of freedom: dipoles, quadrupoles, octupoles, hexadecapoles, etc. Usually, the ordering of any multipole component leaves the system sufficiently symmetrical to allow a second symmetry…
"Hidden"-order phases with high-rank multipolar order parameters have been recently detected in several cubic double perovskites of 5$d$ transition metals. Here, by constructing and solving an ab initio low-energy Hamiltonian, we show that…
A systematic search for possible order parameters of the so-called hidden order of URu$_{2}$Si$_{2}$ is conducted. Among the possible candidates that do fulfill the experimental symmetry restrictions on the hidden order parameter, we find…
The heavy-fermion compound URu2Si2 exhibits a hidden-order phase below the temperature, ~ 17.5 K. In spite of intense research for past three decades, no consensus on the order parameter exists and the nature has posed a long-standing…
The tetragonal compound UPt2Si2 has been characterised as a moderately mass enhanced system with an antiferromagnetic ground state below T_N = 32 K. Here, we present an extensive study of the behavior in high magnetic fields. We have…
A second-order phase transition is characterized by spontaneous symmetry breaking. The nature of the broken symmetry in the so-called "hidden order" phase transition in the heavy fermion compound URu2Si2, at transition temperature T_h=17.5…
Motivated by the time-reversal symmetry breaking signal in muon spin relaxation below a transition temperature without accompanying noticeable magnetic Bragg peaks in $5d^2$ Os double perovskites, a rare ferro-octupolar order was proposed…
On the basis of group theory and the first-principles calculations, we investigate high-rank multipole orderings in URu2Si2, which have been proposed as a genuine primary order parameter in the hidden order phase below 17.5K. We apply…
We have investigated the nature of the competition between hidden order and antiferromagnetic (AF) order in URu_2Si_2 by performing the neutron scattering experiments under hydrostatic-pressure P, uniaxial-stress sigma, and Rh-substitution…
Despite more than a quarter century of research, the nature of the second-order phase transition in the heavy-fermion metal URu$_2$Si$_2$ remains enigmatic. The key question is which symmetry is being broken below this "hidden order"…
We study URu$_{2-x}$Fe$_x$Si$_2$, in which two types of staggered phases compete at low temperature as the iron concentration $x$ is varied: the nonmagnetic "hidden order" (HO) phase below the critical concentration $x_c$, and…
An octupole ordering model is studied by the mean field theory, and its relevance to the phase IV of CexLa1-xB6 is discussed. The observed lattice distortion along the [111] direction is interpreted in terms of the \Gamma_{5g}-type…
We develop a Landau Ginzburg theory of the hidden order phase and the local moment antiferromagnetic phase of URu_2Si_2. We unify the two broken symmetries in a common complex order parameter and derive many experimentally relevant…
The behavior of the so-called weak moment antiferromagnetic states, observed in the heavy-fermion superconductors UPt$_3$ and URu$_2$Si$_2$, is discussed in view of recent $\mu$SR results obtained as function of control parameters like…
Novel electronic states resulting from entangled spin and orbital degrees of freedom are hallmarks of strongly correlated f-electron systems. A spectacular example is the so-called 'hidden-order' phase transition in the heavy-electron metal…
We discuss the discovery of pressure-induced antiferromagnetism in URu_2Si_2, in the context of neutron, NMR and \mu SR results. The identification of a critical pressure separating mean-field and Ising phase transitions leads us to propose…
