Popis: The intermetallic compound U${\mathrm{Ru}}_{2}$${\mathrm{Si}}_{2}$ can be classified as a heavy-fermion system because of its large linear specific-heat coefficient $\ensuremath{\gamma}=180$ mJ/mol\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi{}${\mathrm{K}}^{2}$. Susceptibility, magnetization, and specific-heat measurements on single-crystal samples indicate both a magnetic phase transition at 17.5 K and a superconducting transition at 0.8 K. The magnetic and superconducting properties are highly anisotropic.
