Inelastic x-ray scattering measurements of phonon dynamics in URu[subscript 2] Si[subscript 2]

We report high-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering measurements of the acoustic phonons of URu[subscript 2] Si[subscript 2]. At all temperatures, the longitudinal acoustic phonon linewidths are anomalously broad at small wave vectors revealing a previously unknown anharmonicity. The phonon modes d...
