We report that the magnetostriction (MS) effects occur in a paramagnetic state of a chiral magnet. Through a series of experimental tests at room temperature, structural changes were observed at the level of a unit cell. The structural parameters are dependent of the strength and direction of magnetic field () even at temperature excessively higher than the magnetic ordering temperatureof 127 K. The present paramagnetic MS prominently appeared undertheplane (easy plane) as opposed to undertheaxis. Features observed in the paramagnetic MS effect significantly differ from those of the spontaneous MS in the vicinity of[Phys. Rev. B 102, 014446 (2020)2469-995010.1103/PhysRevB.102.014446]. In this material, the orbital angular momentumof Cr originates from the hybridization between Cr and Nb, andis strongly coupled with the crystal structure [Phys. Rev. B 99, 174439 (2019)2469-995010.1103/PhysRevB.99.174439]. The present study clarified that the symmetry of theoctahedron is sensitive toeven at room temperature. The paramagnetic spin-orbit coupling should induce the distortion ofoctahedron, resulting in the changes in Cr-Nb() distance via the change in the hybridization between Cr-and Nb-orbitals.
