Abstract
By means of neutron scattering and magnetization measurements down to 90 mK, we determine the magnetic ground state of the spin-ice candidate Nd2Zr2O7. We show that, despite ferromagnetic interactions, Nd2Zr2O7 undergoes a transition around 285 mK towards an all-in–all-out antiferromagnetic state, with a strongly reduced ordered magnetic moment.We establish the (H,T) phase diagram in the three directions of the applied field and reveal a metamagnetic transition around 0.1 T, associated with an unexpected shape of the magnetization curves.We propose that this behavior results from the peculiar nature of the Nd3þ doublet, a dipolar-octupolar doublet, different from the standard Kramers doublet studied to date, thus revealing the importance of multipolar correlations in the properties of pyrochlore oxides.
