TH phase diagram of β-Li2IrO3 with field along b-axis. a ΨI and ΨV obey a simple sum rule which suggests that spectral weight is exchanged between these parameters as a function of field. b Schematic representation of the moment direction in the zero field incommensurate (lower, green arrows) and the field induced zig-zag (upper, blue arrows) order projected on the Ir chains (gray) which propagate in the crystallographic a ± b directions (see also Fig. 1a). Note the propagation vector of the incommensurate order is not along the chain, but along the a-axis. c T − H phase diagram constructed by combining the normalized scattering intensity of a commensurate peak (gray scale contours), with the H* and T I extracted from magnetization and heat capacity measurements in Fig. 1 (blue diamonds), and a cusp observed in the field dependence of C p (red dots) (determination of the error bars is described in the caption of Supplementary Fig. 3). Note the parameter ΨV in principle grows as the structure factor and so ΨV  \(\sqrt {{\rm{I}}_{\rm{V}}}\)
