We respond to the comment of Bramwell et al (arXiv:1111.4168v1) to our original publication (S. R. Dunsiger et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 207207 (2011)), detailing muon spin rotation measurements of the Spin Ice compound Dy2Ti2O7.
It has been proposed recently \cite{son} that excitations in Spin Ice can be of the form of magnetic monopoles that does not obey the Dirac Quantization Condition. It is also well known \cite{rj} that the above scenario leads to…
Theory predicts the low-temperature magnetic excitations in spin ices consist of deconfined magnetic charges, or monopoles. A recent transverse-field (TF) muon spin rotation (muSR) experiment [S T Bramwell et al, Nature 461, 956 (2009)]…
This is a nontechnical Perspective commentary on two recent neutron scattering experiments (Science 326, 415 (2009) and Science 326, 411 (2009)) reporting evidence for the validity of a "Coulomb phase" description of the low-temperature…
The monopole picture for spin ice offers a natural description for a confounding class of materials. A paper published in Nature Physics in 2009 applied it to study the dynamical properties of these systems -- sparking intense experimental…
The residual entropy of spin ice and other frustrated magnets is a property of considerable interest, yet the usual way of determining it, by integrating the heat capacity, is generally ambiguous. Here we note that a straightforward…
The possibilities of combining several degrees of freedom inside a unique material have recently been highlighted in their dynamics and proposed as information carriers in quantum devices where their cross-manipulation by external…
During recent years the interest to frustrated magnets has grown considerably. Such systems reveal very peculiar properties which distinguish them from standard paramagnets, magnetically ordered regular systems (like ferro-, ferri-, and…
The spin ice compounds {\dys} and {\holm} are highly unusual magnets which epitomize a set of concepts of great interest in modern condensed matter physics: their low-energy physics exhibits an emergent gauge field and their excitations are…
In work [1] (Yu. N. Pokotilovski, arXiv:0902.3425v2) restrictions on constants of pseudo-magnetic interaction gSgP are presented. These restrictions are considerably differed from restrictions on gSgP, before published in work [2] (A.P.…
Spin ice illustrates many unusual magnetic properties, including zero point entropy, emergent monopoles and a quasi liquid-gas transition. To reveal the quantum spin dynamics that underpin these phenomena is an experimental challenge. Here…
Excitations from a strongly frustrated system, the kagome ice state of the spin ice Dy2Ti2O7 under magnetic fields along a [111] direction, have been studied. They are theoretically proposed to be regarded as magnetic monopoles. Neutron…
We present non-equilibrium physics in spin ice as a novel setting which combines kinematic constraints, emergent topological defects, and magnetic long range Coulomb interactions. In spin ice, magnetic frustration leads to highly degenerate…
Magnetic monopoles have eluded experimental detection since their prediction nearly a century ago by Dirac. Recently it has been shown that classical analogues of these enigmatic particles occur as excitations out of the topological ground…
Distinct symmetry enriched topological orders often do not have classical distinctions. Motivated by the recent progress on the pyrochlore spin ice materials based on the dipole-octupole doublets, we argue that the dipolar spin liquid and…
The close connection of electricity and magnetism is one of the cornerstones of modern physics. This connection plays crucial role from the fundamental point of view and in practical applications, including spintronics and multiferroic…
Frustration in magnetic systems is fertile ground for complex behaviour, including unconventional ground states with emergent symmetries, topological properties, and exotic excitations. A canonical example is the emergence of…
It was proposed that spin ice, a class of rare earth titanates, hosts elementary excitations akin to magnetic monopoles. Recently, Bramwell and co-workers [arXiv:arXiv:0907.0956] measured the Wien effect in Dy2Ti2O7, directly probing the…
The paper by A. A. Shashkin et al. [cond-mat/0409100] reports measurements of the thermodynamic magnetization of two-dimensional electrons in silicon. Although the experimental data is very similar to that reported by us more then two years…
One of the most remarkable examples of emergent quasi-particles, is that of the "fractionalization" of magnetic dipoles in the low energy configurations of materials known as "spin ice", into free and unconfined magnetic monopoles…
