It is known that the ferromagnetic frustrated J₁-J₂ chain is a good minimal model for several cuprate chain materials. Moreover, this model exhibits multipolar physics in magnetic field. Motivated by this, we study antiferromagnetically coupled J₁-J₂ chains: the interchain coupling J′ is considered to vary from pure Ising to Heisenberg exchange by varying the XXZ anisotropy parameter Δ. In general, the interchain coupling can act as an effective magnetic field. When J′ is Ising-like, the system exhibits a fully magnetised state for J′/|J₁|>1. This magnetisation might be related to the existence of a nematic state. Remarkably, the system shows finite magnetisation also in the limit of Heisenberg interchain coupling.
