In pulsed magnetic fields up to 65 T and at temperatures below the Néel transition, our magnetization and magnetostriction measurements reveal a field-induced metamagneticlike transition that is suggestive of an antiferromagnetic to ferrimagnetic ordering. Our data also suggest a change in the nature of this metamagneticlike transition from second- to first-order-like near a tricritical point at T_tc ~ 145K and H_c ~ 52 T. At high fields for H > H_c we found a decreased magnetic moment roughly half of the moment determined by neutron powder diffraction. Lastly, we propose that the decreased moment and lack of saturation at high fields indicate the presence of a field-induced ferrimagnetic state above the tricritical point of the H-T phase diagram for USb₂.
