Robust pinned magnetisation in A2Ir2O7 iridates, the case of Er2Ir2O7 and Lu2Ir2O7 flux-grown single crystals

Abstract

Reliable and profound studies of actual magnetic domain structure in rare-earth A2Ir2O7 pyrochlore iridates are frequently limited by insufficient sample quality or lack of single crystals. We report the magnetic properties of the for-the-first-time synthesised Lu2Ir2O7 and Er2Ir2O7 single-crystals. The paper is focused on the robust ferromagnetic component of magnetisation present in the material with the antiferromagnetically ordered state of the all-in-all-out (AIAO) type, and is discussed in the framework of AIAO and AOAI domains and interfaces on the geometrically frustrated lattice.
