Diffuse scattering and possible pinch points in the Ising antiferromagnet Nd2Zr2O7
Recent combined magnetization and neutron diffraction experiments demonstrate that the Ising AF pyrochlore antiferromagnet Nd2Zr2O7 orders in an all-in all-out configuration. In principle, this corresponds to an un-frustrated situation, in contrast with other remarkable members of the family like Ho2Ti2O7 or Tb2Ti2O7. However, our findings point to the predominance of quantum fluctuations in this material and show that this case is a lot more complicated than it first appears. To shed light on this issue, we plan to study the diffuse scattering in Nd2Zr2O7 on the time of flight spectrometer D7 using polarized neutrons and equipped with the dilution insert.
