a, Magnetization (M) measured under field (B) along the crystallographic [100], [110], and [111] axes at T = 65(5) mK. Dashed lines denote the saturation M along each axis estimated using the effective moment (μeff ≈ 2.5 μB) deduced from the Curie-Weiss fit. The magnetization curve for Dy2Ti2O7 at 50 mK, adapted from Ref. 40, is also shown. M and B for Dy2Ti2O7 are scaled to those for Pr2Zr2O7 with respect to the value of μeff( 2.5 μB for Pr3+ and 10 μB for Dy3+) and the metamagnetic field Bc ( 2.2 T for Pr2Zr2O7 and 0.9 T for Dy2Ti2O7), respectively. b, B dependence of the field derivative of M in (a).
