Strong quantum fluctuations from competition between magnetic phases in a pyrochlore iridate

Abstract:

We report neutron diffraction measurements of the magnetic structures in two pyrochlore iridates, Yb2Ir2O7 and Lu2Ir2O7. Both samples exhibit the all-in-All-out magnetic structure on the Ir4+ sites below TN≃150 K, with a low temperature moment of around 0.45μB/Ir. Below 2 K, the Yb moments in Yb2Ir2O7 begin to order ferromagnetically. However, even at 40 mK the ordered moment is only 0.57(2) μB/Yb, well below the saturated moment of the ground state doublet of Yb3+ (1.9...
