摘要

A broken symmetry ground state without any magnetic moments has been calculated by means of the local-density approximation to density functional theory plus a local exchange term, the so-called LDA U approach, for URu2Si2. The solution is analyzed in terms of a multipole tensor expansion of the itinerant density matrix and is found to be a nontrivial magnetic multipole. Analysis and further calculations show that this type of multipole enters naturally in time reversal breaking in the presence of large effective spin-orbit coupling and coexists with magnetic moments for most magnetic actinides.
