Search for hidden order parameter of URu2Si2 by neutron-scattering experiment under uniaxial stress

Abstract

Elastic neutron-scattering experiment was performed on the heavy-fermion superconductor URu2Si2 under uniaxial stress in order to search a sign of a hidden order parameter. Contour maps of neutron-scattering at 1.5 K were achieved by mesh scanning. No additional magnetic signal exists in (h0l) and (hhl) planes except for a well-known weak antiferromagnetic signal with magnetic-propagation vector of Q = (100) within the present experimental accuracy and scanned area. © 2010 IOP Publishing Ltd.
