NMR Study of Line Shape Effects Caused by the Hidden Order in a Random Powder of URu$_2$Si$_2$

ORAL

Abstract

We present NMR data for an epoxy-potted random-powder sample of URu$_2$Si$_2$. We have followed the line shape from 280 K down to about 4 K and observed its changing features as functions of temperature and two values of the applied magnetic field strength (1 and 2 T). We will describe the effects of the hidden order (transition temperature $T_0 \sim 17.5$~K) on the line shape and compare them with previous results in c-axis oriented samples and single crystals.
