Basal-plane nonlinear susceptibility: A direct probe of the single-ion physics in URu2Si2

he microscopic nature of the hidden order state in URu[subscript 2]Si[subscript 2] is dependent on the low-energy configurations of the uranium ions, and there is currently no consensus on whether it is predominantly 5f[supercript 2] or 5f[supercript 3]. Here we show that measurement of the basal-pl...
