Abstract:
The transition of URu2Si2 to an ordered state below 17.5 K has been a puzzle of condensed matter physics for over 30 y, earning it the soubriquet of the hidden-order (HO) state. Intriguingly, pressure or doping can transform the HO into an antiferromagnetic (AFM) state, of well-known symmetry. Here, by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, the electronic structure of URu2Si2 in the HO phase is directly compared with its AFM counterpart. This reveals topographically identical Fermi surfaces; however, they differ by the size of some of their pockets. The overall nonrigid change of the electronic structure across the AFM/HO phase boundary indicates that a change in the interaction strength between states near the Fermi level is essential to stabilize the HO state.
