URu 2Si 2中隐藏有序(HO)的两个最引人注目但尚未解决的表现,一方面与双阶变磁跃迁有关,另一方面与巨大的异常能斯特信号有关。当沿c轴施加磁场时,观察到这两种情况。在这里,我们提供了第一次统一的理解这些令人困惑的现象和相关的场-温度(B-T)相图。我们证明了在有限场的HO相位可以用手征dxy+ idx 2-y2自旋密度波来解释,假设零场HO只包含时间反演对称性保持idx 2-y2分量。我们认为,在场诱导的手征HO的存在下,可以反映在一个独特的非线性B依赖的克尔角,当克尔实验进行有限场。该指纹可以决定HO中可能出现的手性。
英文摘要:
Two of the most striking and yet unresolved manifestations of the hidden order (HO) in URu2Si2, are associated on one hand with the double-step metamagnetic transitions and on the other with the giant anomalous Nernst signal. Both are observed when a magnetic field is applied along the c-axis. Here we provide for the first time a unified understanding of these puzzling phenomena and the related field-temperature (B-T) phase diagram. We demonstrate that the HO phase at finite fields can be explained with a chiral dxy+idx2-y2 spin density wave, assuming that the zero field HO contains only the time-reversal symmetry preserving idx2-y2 component. We argue that the presence of the field-induced chiral HO can be reflected in a distinctive non-linear B-dependence of the Kerr angle, when a Kerr experiment is conducted for finite fields. This fingerprint can be conclusive for the possible emergence of chirality in the HO.
Chirality density wave of the 'hidden order' phase in URu$_2$Si$_2$
二级相变与“序参量“和自发对称性破缺的出现有关。对于重费米子超导体URu $_2$ Si $_2$,尽管经过30年的研究,与其在17.5 K以下的有序相相关的序参量的对称性仍然是模糊的,因此被称为“隐藏序”(HO)。在这里,我们使用偏振分辨拉曼光谱指定的低能量激发的HO过渡以上和以下的对称性。这些激发涉及相互作用的重铀5f轨道之间的过渡,负责在HO阶段的对称性破缺。从集体模的对称性分析,我们确定HO参数打破了铀位置的局部垂直和对角反射对称性,导致具有明显手征性质的晶体场态,从而形成公度手征密度波基态.

结合精确对角化和Monte-Carlo方法,研究了三角格子上具有竞争超交换作用的半满双交换模型。我们发现,在预期的巡回铁磁和$120^{\circ}$ Yafet-Kittel阶段之间的一个强大的标量手性,绝缘自旋状态出现。在有限温度下,铁磁体标量手征量子临界点的特征是在阻挫巡游磁体R $_2$ Mo $_{2}$ O $_7$中观察到的电荷输运中的异常坏金属行为.
