Experimental and theoretical investigations on itinerant ferromagnetic systems under pressure have shown that ferromagnetic quantum criticality is avoided either by a change of the transition order, becoming of the first order at a tricritical point, or by the appearance of modulated magnetic phases. In the first case, the application of a magnetic field reveals a wing-structure phase diagram as seen in itinerant ferromagnets such as ZrZn₂ and UGe₂. Secondly, no tricritical wings have been observed so far. Here, we report on the discovery of wing-structure as well as the appearance of modulated magnetic phases in the temperature-pressure-magnetic field phase diagram of LaCrGe₃. Our investigation of LaCrGe₃ reveals a double-wing structure indicating strong similarities with ZrZn₂ and UGe₂. Unlike these simpler systems, LaCrGe₃ also shows modulated magnetic phases similar to CeRuPO. Our finding provides an example of an additional possibility for the phase diagram of metallic quantum ferromagnets.
