Spin ice materials are the model systems that have a zero-point entropy as \textit{T} $\rightarrow$ 0 K, owing to the frozen disordered states. Here, we chemically alter the well-known spin ice Ho$_{2}$Ti$_{2}$O$_{7}$ by replacing Ti sites…

In this work we present inelastic neutron scattering experiments which probe the single ion ground states of the rare earth pyrochlores $R_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ ($R$ = Tb, Dy, Ho). Dy$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ and Ho$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ are dipolar spin ices, now…

Recent experiments suggest that the Ising pyrochlore magnets ${\rm Ho_{2}Ti_{2}O_{7}}$ and ${\rm Dy_{2}Ti_{2}O_{7}}$ display qualitative properties of the spin ice model proposed by Harris {\it et al.} \prl {\bf 79}, 2554 (1997). We discuss…
