Abstract
Long-range noncollinear all-in-all-out magnetic order has been directly observed for the first time in real space in the pyrochlore Cd_{2}Os_{2}O_{7} using resonant magnetic microdiffraction at the Os L_{3} edge. Two different antiferromagnetic domains related by time-reversal symmetry could be distinguished and have been mapped within the same single crystal. The two types of domains are akin to magnetic twins and were expected-yet unobserved so far-in the all-in-all-out model. Even though the magnetic domains are antiferromagnetic, we show that their distribution can be controlled using a magnetic field-cooling procedure.Year: 2015 PMID: 25910160 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.114.147205
