Nd-based pyrochlore oxides of the formhave garnered a significant amount of interest owing to the moment fragmentation physics observed inand speculated in. Notably this phenomenon is not ubiquitous in this family, as it is absent in, which features a smaller ionic radius on thesite. Here, we explore the necessary conditions for moment fragmentation in the Nd pyrochlore family through a detailed study of the mixed-site pyrochlore. Thesite of this system is characterized by significant disorder and an extremely small average ionic radius. Similarly to, we find no evidence for moment fragmentation through our bulk characterization and neutron scattering experiments, indicating that chemical pressure (and not necessarily the-site disorder) plays a key role in the presence or absence of this phenomenon in this material family. Surprisingly, the presence of significant-site disorder indoes not generate a spin-glass ground state and instead the same all-in-all-out magnetic order identified in other Nd pyrochlores is found here.
