The spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the highly frustrated diamond-decorated square lattice is a spin system of orthogonal spin dimers that features various ground-state phases, consisting of extended monomer-dimer and dimer-tetramer ground states as well as a ferrimagnetic regime. By using a combination of density matrix renormalization group (DMRG), exact diagonalization, as well as unbiased sign-problem free quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods, we investigate this system in the presence of a finite magnetic field. We find at high magnetic fields the emergence of a spin-canted phase, with continuously rising magnetization, as well as the fully polarized paramagnetic phase. At intermediate field strength, we identify the presence of a first-order quantum phase transition line between a ferrimagnetic phase and the monomer-dimer regime, which extends to finite temperatures and terminates in a line of critical points belonging to the Ising universality class.
