  21. Magnetocaloric Effect

  22. and Novel Phases

  23. c exhibits divergence for T > 6 K as for CeRu2Si2, Sr3Ru2O7 and UPt3 THEN SUDDENLY crossover splits for T < 6 K (T-stability crucial for discovery) H decreasing Transitions consistent with specific heat measurements [Jaime et al. PRL89, 287201(2002)] What happens as T is lowered? CAN FIELD-INDUCED QCP INSTIGATE NEW PHASES?

  24. Phase transitions observed as extremities in dr/dB and dr/dT confirmed in M, C and sound velocity vs Multiple phases nearby a QCP: H decreasing

  25. Metamagnetic transition Multiple new phases result from (1) multiple competing interactions and/or (2) close proximity of BM to Hidden Order phase Multiple phases nearby a QCP: H decreasing

  26. r=r0+ATn ~0.6KT 3 K Summary of Transport Results for URu2Si2 All the ”smoking guns” indicate Metamagnetic transition HQCP~37 T !! URu2Si2 : Another example of order created at quantum critical point ?? K.H.Kim, N.Harrison, M.Jaime, G.S.Boebinger and JAM. PRL91, ‘03

  27. Nexus between quantum critical point, phase II and BM observed as a function of Rh, indicating causality link Effects of Rh-doping in URu2Si2 K.H.Kim, N.Harrison, H.Amitsuka, G.A.Jorge, M.Jaime and JAM, PRL 93(2004) Phase diagram simplified on doping with Rh, yielding single field-induced phase (II) [without phase I (Hidden Order)] and clearer evidence for quantum critical point Quantum criticality occurs in absence of hidden order: so hidden order not responsible for quantum criticality (magnetization in pulsed fields and transport in dc fields)

  28. Evidence for quantum criticality occurs at at low and high magnetic fields, pointing to single quantum critical point concealed inside phase II, with scaling: T*  A-1/2  F Fits of A to (B-BM) support divergence in m* at quantum critical point: formation of phase II leads to suppression of fluctuations Phase II likely holds key to understanding magnetism, because it has 1/3rd of full saturated moment (neutrons should be able to detect large moment that is absent in Hidden Order phase): Ising moments imply broken translational symmetry likely Quantum criticality and Phase II  ~ 1  ~ 0.7

  29. Previous study in U(Ru1-xRhx)2Si2 K. H. Kim et al., PRL 93, 206402 (2004) HFL PFL II K. H. Kim et al., PRL 91, 256401 (2003) III What happens in Fermi surface volumes across a putative quantum critical point ?

  30. Hall Effect Results for URu2Si2 in Pulsed Magnet rxx for URu2Si2 rxy for URu2Si2 Curvature change? FS change

  31. B-dependent Hall resistivities of URu2Si2 & U(Ru0.96Rh0.04)2Si2 U(Ru0.96Rh0.04)2Si2 In each state, the slope of Hall resistivity, RH☞≡ρ/B , is constant Each state has different Fermi surface. It indicates that the orbital contribution is predominant in the Hall effect at low temperature. URu2Si2

  32. Discontinuous change of Fermi surface volume ΔRH~2.7×10-9m3/C ΔRH~0.6×10-9m3/C Δn~1 ± 0.3el/U ? Δn~1 ± 0.3 n~0.15 n~0.05 Sudden Reconstruction of Fermi Surface

  33. Hidden Order and Novel Phases • HO is createdwith T through a symmetry breaking/FS transition. Proposal: Itinerant quadrupole that also breaks transitional symmetry. • HO is transformed with pressure through lattice (c/a) strain & distortion as a subtle crossover to LM-IAF. • HO is destroyed with field through a myriad of novel phase transitions (1st order) via dramatic FS reconstructions (pocket depopulations from dH/vA). • HO is destroyed with Rh-doping through FS detuning as a crossover.
