The temperature dependence of the thermal expansion coefficient
has been measured in URu
Si
under uniaxial pressure
along the [100] and [110] directions up to
GPa. For both cases, the hidden order phase transition temperature
increases with increasing uniaxial pressure. An anomaly
of the thermal expansion coefficient at
appears to be enhanced under a small uniaxial pressure (
GPa). An antiferromagnetically ordered phase appears at
above the critical pressure
GPa for uniaxial pressure along the [100] direction, whereas no antiferromagnetic transition is detected up to
GPa for uniaxial pressure along the [110] direction, indicating that the critical pressure is beyond
GPa for the [110] case.
