AbstractThe ground state of URu2Si2 changes from so-called hidden order (HO) to large-moment antiferromagnetism (LMAF) upon applying hydrostatic pressure in excess of 14 kbar. We report the dc-magnetization M(B,T,p) of URu2Si2 for magnetic fields B up to 12 T, temperatures T in the range 2 to 100 K, and pressure p up to 17 kbar. Remarkably, characteristic scales such as the coherence temperature T*, the transition temperature T0, and the anisotropy in the magnetization depend only weakly on the applied pressure. However, the discontinuity in dM/dT at T0, which measures the magnetocaloric effect, decreases nearly 50 % upon applying 17 kbar for M and B parallel to the tetragonal c-axis, while it increases 15-fold for the a-axis. Our findings suggest that the HO and LMAF phases have an astonishing degree of similarity in their physical properties, but a key difference is the magnetocaloric effect near T0 in the basal plane.
