The low temperature entropy of the the spin ice compounds, such as Ho$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ and Dy$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$, is well described by the nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic Ising model on the pyrochlore lattice, i.e.\ by the ``ice rules''. This…
In a magnetically driven electronic nematic state, an externally applied uniaxial strain rounds the nematic transition and increases the magnetic transition temperature. We study both effects in a simple classical model of the…
We present single-crystal neutron-diffuse-scattering measurements with polarization analysis on the spin ice Ho2-xYxTi2O7 (x = 0, 0.3, and 1). At 2 K, the spin flip scattering patterns are typical of a nearest-neighbor spin ice and the…
At room temperature, the normal oxide spinels NiCr_2O_4 and CuCr_2O_4 are tetragonally distorted and crystallize in the I4_1/amd space group due to cooperative Jahn-Teller ordering driven by the orbital degeneracy of tetrahedral Ni$^{2+}$…
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 ferromagnetic nearest neighbor spin ice model proposed by Harris {\it et al.}, Phys.…
In this work, we explore the magnetic behavior of diluted spin-ice systems, where magnetic moments are randomly removed at various concentrations. We concentrate on features in which the effect of long range dipolar interactions (usually…
Spin glasses are systems whose magnetic moments freeze at low temperature into random orientations without long-range order. It is generally accepted that both frustration and disorder are essential ingredients in all spin glasses, so it…
We study the magnetic structure of the ground state of an itinerant Fermi system of spin-\nicefrac{1}{2} particles with magnetic dipole-dipole interactions. We show that, quite generally, the spin state of particles depend on its momentum,…
We report the magnetic and thermal properties of Dy2Sn2-xSbxO7+x/2, x = 0, 0.25, and 0.5, and Dy2NbScO7. We find evidence for Ising-like single ion ground states in the Dy2Sn2-xSbxO7+x/2 materials. These materials possess nearly the same…
In this Comment we argue that Ho$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ does not exhibit a transition to a partially ordered state unlike what is argued in PRL 83, 1854 (1999), that it exhibits spin ice behavior, and that the experimental specific heat data by…
Dipolar-octupolar (DO) pyrochlore systems Ce$_2$(Zr,Sn,Hf)$_2$O$_7$ have garnered much attention as recent investigations suggest that they may stabilize a novel quantum spin ice (QSI), a quantum spin liquid (QSL) with an emergent $U(1)$…
While geometrically frustrated quantum magnets are known for a variety of exotic spin states that are of great interests of understanding emergent phenomena as well as enabling revolutionary quantum technologies, most of them are…
Spin-ices are frustrated magnets that support a particularly rich variety of emergent physics. Typically, it is the interplay of magnetic dipole interactions, spin anisotropy, and geometric frustration on the pyrochlore lattice that drives…
By molecular dynamics simulation, we have investigated classical Heisenberg spins, which are arrayed on a finite simple cubic lattice and interact with each other only by the dipole-dipole interaction, and have found its peculiar it…
We use neutron diffraction and muon spin relaxation to study the effect of in-plane uniaxial pressure on the antiferromagnetic (AF) orthorhombic phase in BaFe$_2$As$_2$ and its Co- and Ni-substituted members near optimal superconductivity.…
Dy2Ti2O7 has been advanced as an ideal spin ice. We present a neutron scattering investigation of a sample of 162Dy2Ti2O7. The scattering intensity has been mapped in zero applied field in the hhl and hk0 planes at temperatures between 0.05…
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.
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…
High pressure neutron diffraction is employed to investigate the magnetic behavior of CaMn$_2$Bi$_2$ in extreme conditions. In contrast to antiferromagnetic ordering on Mn atoms reported at ambient pressure, our results reveal that at high…
