摘要
A comprehensive transport study, as a function of temperature and continuous magnetic fields of up to 45 T, reveals that URu2Si2 possesses all the essential hallmarks of quantum criticality at fields around 37+/-1 T. The formation of multiple phases at low temperatures at and around the quantum critical point suggests the existence of competing order parameters.
