High-precision angle-resolved dc magnetization and magnetic torque studies were performed on a single-crystalline sample of URhGe, an orthorhombic Ising ferromagnet with theaxis being the magnetization easy axis, in order to investigate the phase diagram around the ferromagnetic (FM) reorientation transition in a magnetic field near theaxis. We have clearly detected a first-order transition in both the magnetization and the magnetic torque at low temperatures, and determined detailed profiles of the wing structure of the three-dimensionalphase diagram, whereanddenote the field components along theand theaxes, respectively. The quantum wing critical points are located atT andT. Two second-order transition lines at the boundaries of the wing planes rapidly tend to approach each other with increasing temperature up toK. Just at the zero conjugate field (), however, a signature of the first-order transition can still be seen in the field derivative of the magnetization atK, indicating that the tricritical point exists in a rather high temperature region above 4 K. This feature of the wing plane structure is consistent with the theoretical expectation that three second-order transition lines merge tangentially at the tricritical point.
