Magnetic properties of spinel FeCr2S4 in high magnetic field

We studied temperature and magnetic field dependence of magnetization, M(T) and M(B), on thiospinel FeCr2S4. We observed a step-like anomaly at TOO∼9K for M(T  ) attributed to an orbital order transition in magnetic field 0

► Magnetic properties of spinel FeCr2S4 in high magnetic field.
► Isotherm magnetization curve increases monotonically above 9 K.
► An anomaly of isotherm magnetization curve was found at 5.5 T and below 9 K.
► Magnetic field induced new magnetic phase exists at just orbital ordered phase.
