Effects of Rh-doping in URu2Si2
Quantum criticality occurs in absence of hidden order: so hidden order not responsible for quantum criticality
Phase diagram simplified on doping with Rh, yielding single field-induced phase (II) [without phase I (Hidden Order)] and clearer evidence for quantum critical point

Quantum criticality and Phase II
Evidence for quantum criticality occurs at at low and high magnetic fields, pointing to single quantum critical point concealed inside phase II, with scaling: T* ∝ A-1/2 ∝ εF
Fits of A to (B-BM)α support divergence in m* at quantum critical point: formation of phase II leads to suppression of fluctuations
Phase II likely holds key to understanding magnetism, because it has 1/3rd of full saturated moment (neutrons should be able to detect large moment that is absent in Hidden Order phase): Ising moments imply broken translational symmetry likely

Summary of Progress
1) URu2Si2 exhibits quantum critical behaviour associated with itinerant electron metamagnetism
2) Quantum criticality is involved in creation of new phase(s) at high magnetic fields
3) New phases may also help us to understand Hidden Order parameter
4) Rh doping greatly simplifies the phase diagram with a single phaseII surrounded by two low temperature Fermi liquid phases
5) Phase II exhibits an enormous specific heat discontinuity indicative of a first order phase transition – tricritical points
