TL;DR

This study investigates how strong magnetic fields influence the phase transition temperature in CeB6, revealing a continuous increase with field strength and insensitivity to magnetic field gradients.

Contribution

It provides new experimental data on the magnetic field dependence of phase transition in CeB6 using cantilever magnetometry.

Findings

Phase transition temperature increases with magnetic field strength.

Strong magnetic field gradients do not affect the phase transition.

The phase boundary shifts continuously with field.

Abstract

We have measured the magnetic field dependence of the paramagnetic to high temperature magnetically ordered phase transition TQ(H) in CeB6 from 2 to 30 T using cantilever magnetometry. It is found that the phase separation temperature continuously increases in field with an increasingly positive slope. In addition, we find that measurements in strong magnetic field gradients have no effect on the phase transition.
