| contents | We report low-temperature $^{115}$In nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study of the prototypical heavy-fermion compound CeIrIn$_5$ in high magnetic fields applied close to the crystallographic $c$ axis. For this orientation, a field-induced transition was previously reported to take place at about 28 T. Although we do not observe any change of the NMR spectrum above the transition, the intensity of the NMR lines drastically decreases as a consequence of a considerable shortening of the $T_2$ relaxation time. In addition, $1/T_1$ shows a pronounced maximum at the transition. Taking into account previous high-field de Haas-van Alphen results in conjunction with band-structure calculations, our NMR results are most naturally explained by the field-induced transition into an antiferromagnetic state with the propagation vector $\mathbf{Q} = (1/2, 1/2, 0)$ and magnetic moments aligned antiferromagnetically along the $c$ axis. This makes CeIrIn$_5$ a unique case where the application of the magnetic field induces an ordered state with moments antiferromagnetically aligned along the field direction. |
