Proximity to a critical point driven by electronic entropy in URu2Si2
Abstract The strongly correlated actinide metal URu2Si2 exhibits a mean field-like second order phase transition at T o ≈ 17 K, yet lacks definitive signatures of a broken symmetry. Meanwhile, various experiments have also shown the electronic energy gap to closely resemble that resulting from hybri...
