Abstract
Structural properties of in the anomalous magnetic ordered phase between K and K in magnetic fields has been studied by x-ray diffraction. Atomic displacements of Ru and P, reflecting the field-induced charge order of the electrons, have been deduced by analyzing the intensities of the forbidden Bragg peaks, assuming a cubic space group . Also, by utilizing a high-resolution x-ray diffraction experiment, we observed a splitting of fundamental Bragg peaks, clarifying that the unit cell in the magnetic ordered phase is rhombohedral elongated along the axis. The response of the rhombohedral domains to the magnetic field, which reflects the direction of the magnetic moment, is studied in detail.
