Abstract
We report neutron diffraction measurements on single crystal under pulsed high magnetic fields up to 30 T applied along the tetragonal axis. The high-field experiments revealed that the field-induced phase II above 26 T corresponds to a commensurate up-up-down ferrimagnetic structure characterized by the wave vector with the magnetic moments parallel to the axis, which naturally explains the one-third magnetization plateau and the substantially changed Fermi surface in phase II. This -axis modulated magnetic structure indicates that the phase II near the hidden order phase is closely related to the characteristic incommensurate magnetic fluctuations at in the pure system , in contrast to the pressure-induced antiferromagnetic order at .
