The $g$-factor anisotropy of the heavy quasiparticles in the hidden order state of URu$_2$Si$_2$ has been determined from the superconducting upper critical field and microscopically from Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations. We present a detailed analysis of the $g$-factor for the $alpha$, $beta$ and $gamma$ Fermi-surface pockets. Our results suggest a strong $g$-factor anisotropy between the $c$ axis and the basal plane for all observed Fermi surface pockets. The observed anisotropy of the $g$-factor from the quantum oscillations is in good agreement with the anisotropy of the superconducting upper critical field at low temperatures, which is strongly limited by the paramagnetic pair breaking along the easy magnetization axis $c$. However, the anisotropy of the initial slope of the upper critical field near $T_c$ cannot be explained by the anisotropy of the effective masses and Fermi velocities derived from quantum oscillations.

We present a study of transport properties of the heavy fermion URu$_2$Si$_2$ in pulsed magnetic field. The large Nernst response of the hidden order state is found to be suppressed when the magnetic field exceeds 35 T. The combination of resistivity
, Hall and Nernst data outlines the reconstruction of the Fermi surface in the temperature-field phase diagram. The zero-field ground state is a compensated heavy-electron semi-metal, which is destroyed by magnetic field through a cascade of field-induced transitions. Above 40 T, URu$_2$Si$_2$ appears to be a polarized heavy fermions metal with a large density of carriers whose effective mass rapidly decreases with increasing magnetic polarization.
One of the primary goals of modern condensed matter physics is to elucidate the nature of the ground state in various electronic systems. Many correlated electron materials, such as high temperature superconductors, geometrically frustrated oxides, a
nd low-dimensional magnets are still the objects of fruitful study because of the unique properties which arise due to poorly understood many-body effects. Heavy fermion metals - materials which have high effective electron masses due to these effects - represent a class of materials with exotic properties, such as unusual magnetism, unconventional superconductivity, and hidden order parameters. The heavy fermion superconductor URu2Si2 has held the attention of physicists for the last two decades due to the presence of a hidden order phase below 17.5 K. Neutron scattering measurements indicate that the ordered moment is 0.03 $mu_{B}$, much too small to account for the large heat capacity anomaly at 17.5 K. We present recent neutron scattering experiments which unveil a new piece of this puzzle - the spin excitation spectrum above 17.5 K exhibits well-correlated, itinerant-like spin excitations up to at least 10 meV emanating from incommensurate wavevectors. The gapping of these excitations corresponds to a large entropy release and explains the reduction in the electronic specific heat through the transition.
URu$_2$Si$_2$ is surely one of the most mysterious of the heavy-fermion compounds. Despite more than twenty years of experimental and theoretical works, the order parameter of the transition at $T_0 = 17.5$ K is still unknown. The state below $T_0$ r
emains called hidden-order phase and the stakes are still to identify the energy scales driving the system to this phase. We present new magnetoresistivity and magnetization measurements performed on very-high-quality single crystals in pulsed magnetic fields up to 60 T. We show that the transition to the hidden-order state in URu$_2$Si$_2$ is initially driven by a high-temperature crossover at around 40-50 K, which is a fingerprint of inter-site electronic correlations. In a magnetic field $mathbf{H}$ applied along the easy-axis $bf{c}$, the vanishing of this high-temperature scale precedes the polarization of the magnetic moments, as well as it drives the destabilization of the hidden-order phase. Strongly impurity-dependent magnetoresistivity confirms that the Fermi surface is reconstructed below $T_0$ and is strongly modified in a high magnetic field applied along $mathbf{c}$, i.e. at a sufficiently-high magnetic polarization. The possibility of a sharp crossover in the hidden-order state controlled by a field-induced change of the Fermi surface is pointed out.
Hidden order in URu$_2$Si$_2$ has remained a mystery now entering its 4th decade. The importance of resolving the nature of the hidden order has stimulated extensive research. Here we present a detailed characterization of different surface terminati
ons in URu$_2$Si$_2$ by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, in conjunction with scanning tunneling spectroscopy and DMFT calculations that may unveil a new piece of this puzzle. The U-terminated surface is characterized by an electron-like band around the $bar{X}$ point, while a hole-like band for the Si-terminated surface. We also investigate temperature evolution of the electronic structure around the $bar{X}$ point from 11 K up to 70 K, and did not observe any abrupt change of the electronic structure around the coherence temperature (55 K). The $f$ spectral weight gradually weakens upon increasing temperature, still some $f$ spectral weight can be found above this temperature. Our results suggest that surface terminations in URu$_2$Si$_2$ are an important issue to be taken into account in future work.
We present measurements of the resistivity $rho_{x,x}$ of URu2Si2 high-quality single crystals in pulsed high magnetic fields up to 81~T at a temperature of 1.4~K and up to 60~T at temperatures down to 100~mK. For a field textbf{H} applied along the
magnetic easy-axis textbf{c}, a strong sample-dependence of the low-temperature resistivity in the hidden-order phase is attributed to a high carrier mobility. The interplay between the magnetic and orbital properties is emphasized by the angle-dependence of the phase diagram, where magnetic transition fields and crossover fields related to the Fermi surface properties follow a 1/$costheta$-law, $theta$ being the angle between textbf{H} and textbf{c}. For $mathbf{H}parallelmathbf{c}$, a crossover defined at a kink of $rho_{x,x}$, as initially reported in [Shishido et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. textbf{102}, 156403 (2009)], is found to be strongly sample-dependent: its characteristic field $mu_0H^*$ varies from $simeq20$~T in our best sample with a residual resistivity ratio RRR of $225$ to $simeq25$~T in a sample with a RRR of $90$. A second crossover is defined at the maximum of $rho_{x,x}$ at the sample-independent characteristic field $mu_0H_{rho,max}^{LT}simeq30$~T. Fourier analyzes of SdH oscillations show that $H_{rho,max}^{LT}$ coincides with a sudden modification of the Fermi surface, while $H^*$ lies in a regime where the Fermi surface is smoothly modified. For $mathbf{H}parallelmathbf{a}$, i) no phase transition is observed at low temperature and the system remains in the hidden-order phase up to 81~T, ii) quantum oscillations surviving up to 7~K are related to a new and almost-spherical orbit - for the first time observed here - at the frequency $F_lambdasimeq1400$~T and associated with a low effective mass $m^*_lambda=(1pm0.5)cdot m_0$, and iii) no Fermi surface modification occurs up to 81~T.
