compound URu 2 Si 2 as a function of temperature. The light's electric field was applied
along the a or c axis of the tetragonal structure. We show that in addition to a pronounced
anisotropy, the optical conductivity exhibits for both axis a partial suppression of spectral
weight around 12 meV and below 30 K. We attribute these observations to a change in the
band structure below 30 K. However, since these changes have no noticeable impact on the …
