Among others, pyrochlore iridates with strong spin-orbit coupling have received attention recently due to the prediction of Weyl semimetal states in these materials. Despite tremendous efforts, there exists no direct measurement of the spin structure at the iridium site by means of neutron diffraction. This might be caused by the …
