摘要
We report the anisotropic magnetotransport of Nd2Ir2O7 single crystal under high magnetic field (B) up to 50 T with B along various directions. Only for B // [001] direction, a novel semimetal state is realized under high magnetic field evidenced by a field-induced insulating-semimetalic phase transition with critical field B-MI similar to 12 T related to the destruction of all-in-all-out (AIAO) state. In contrast, abnormal magnetotransport hysteresis behavior is observed for B // [111] direction below the metal-insulator transition temperature (T-MI), and magnetotransport reveals the Ir spin structure keep in the AIAO state under high magnetic field with temperature just below T-MI,T- in prospect to realize Weyl semimetal state.
