Chirality density wave of the “hidden order” phase in URu <sub>2</sub> Si <sub>2</sub>
Uncovering the symmetry of a hidden order Cooling matter generally makes it more ordered and may induce dramatic transitions: Think of water becoming ice. With increased order comes loss of symmetry; water in its liquid form will look the same however you rotate it, whereas ice will not. Kung et …
