Outline of Final Research Achievements |
5d-transition metal pyrochlore oxide Cd2Os2O7 shows a metal-insulator transition at 227 K with magnetic ordering. The pyrochlore lattice is composed of the corner-shared tetrahedral Os network, in which the Os atoms have functions as the electric conduction and/or the magnetic moment. Since a geometrical frustration between localized spins prevents a long-range magnetic ordering, a peculiar magnetic structure is expected in the ordered state. We observed a commensurate magnetic peak of q = (0, 0, 0) by resonant x-ray scattering in a high-quality single crystal. We propose a noncollinear all-in/all-out spin arrangement on the pyrochlore lattice of Os atoms, in which all the spins point to (all-in) or away (all-out) from the centers of the tetrahedron. The magnetostriction, magnetocapacitance, Voigt magnetooptic effect, and magnetic susceptibility are expected to have a term linear to the external magnetic field.
