This work was supported by JSPS KAKENHI Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B) Grant No. 16H04009. The synchrotron radiation experiments were performed at the BL22XU of SPring-8 with the approval of the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute (JASRI) (Proposals No. 2017A3786 and No. 2017B3787). They are also approved by the QST Advanced Characterization Nanotechnology Platforms (Proposal 2017A-H16: A-17-QS-0014 and 2017B-H16: A-17-QS-0031).

N2 - High magnetic field X-ray diffraction experiments of solid oxygen have been performed at 10 K using DC magnetic fields of up to 5 T as well as pulsed magnetic fields of up to 25 T. The α phase of oxygen exhibits no magnetostriction greater than Δd/d=10-4 at 5 T, where d and Δd denote a lattice plane spacing and its magnetic field variation, respectively. The Δd/d at higher fields of up to 25 T is found to be smaller than 2×10-3. These results contradict the previously reported giant magnetostriction in the α phase where the volume magnetostriction ΔV/V reaches 10-2 at 7.5 T [K. Katsumata, J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 17, L235 (2005)10.1088/0953-8984/17/23/L03].
