When degenerate states are separated by large energy barriers, the approach to thermal equilibrium can be slow enough that physical properties are defined by the thermalization process rather than the equilibrium. The exploration of…

To understand emergent magnetic monopole dynamics in the spin ices Ho$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ and Dy$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$, it is necessary to investigate the mechanisms by which spins flip in these materials. Presently there are thought to be two…

In the ground state of Ho2Ti2O7 spin ice, the disorder of the magnetic moments follows the same rules as the proton disorder in water ice. Excitations take the form of magnetic monopoles that interact via a magnetic Coulomb interaction.…

The pyrochlore material $\rm Ho_{2}Ti_{2}O_{7}$ has been suggested to show ``spin ice'' behaviour. We present neutron scattering and specific heat results that establish unambiguously that Ho$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ exhibits spin ice correlations at…

Multi-spins tunneling cross-relaxations in an ensemble of weakly-coupled Ho$^{3+}$ ions, mediated by weak anisotropic dipolar interactions, can be evidenced by ac-susceptibility measurements in a high temperature regime. Based on a…

Magnetization and susceptibility studies on single crystals of the pyrochlore Ho$_{2}$Ti$_{2}$O$_{7}$ are reported for the first time. Magnetization isotherms are shown to be qualitatively similar to that predicted by the nearest neighbor…

Frustration in magnetic interactions can give rise to disordered ground states with subtle and beautiful properties. The spin ices Ho2Ti2O7 and Dy2Ti2O7 exemplify this phenomenon, displaying a classical spin liquid state, with…

The spin ice materials, including Ho2Ti2O7 and Dy2Ti2O7, are rare earth pyrochlore magnets which, at low temperatures, enter a constrained paramagnetic state with an emergent gauge freedom. Remarkably, the spin ices provide one of very few…

Motivated by its role as a central pillar of current theories of dynamics of spin ice in and out of equilibrium, we study the single-ion dynamics of the magnetic rare earth ions in their local environments, subject to the effective fields…

We consider quantum spin ice in a temperature regime in which its response is dominated by the coherent motion of a dilute gas of monopoles. The hopping amplitude of a monopole is sensitive to the configuration of its surrounding spins,…

We study experimentally and numerically the dynamics of the spin ice material Dy$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ in the low temperature ($T$) and moderate magnetic field ($\mathbf{B}$) regime ($T\in[0.1,1.7]K$, $B\in[0,0.3]T$). Our objective is to…

Dy2Ti2O7 is a geometrically frustrated magnetic material with a strongly correlated spin ice regime that extends from 1 K down to as low as 60 mK. The diffuse elastic neutron scattering intensities in the spin ice regime can be remarkably…

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…

A promising route to realize entangled magnetic states combines geometrical frustration with quantum-tunneling effects. Spin-ice materials are canonical examples of frustration, and Ising spins in a transverse magnetic field are the…

We study single crystals of Dy$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ and Ho$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ under magnetic field and stress applied along their [001] direction. We find that many of the features that the emergent gauge field of spin ice confers to the macroscopic…

The intrinsic noncollinear spin patterns in rare-earth pyrochlore are physically interesting, hosting many emergent properties, e.g. spin ice and monopole-type excitation. Recently, the magnetic monopole excitation of spin ice systems was…

We investigate the non-equilibrium behavior of the spin-ice material Dy$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ by studying its magnetization as a function of the rate at which an external field is swept. At temperatures below the enigmatic "freezing" temperature…

Elementary excitations in the spin-ice compound Dy$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ can be described as magnetic monopoles propagating independently within the pyrochlore lattice formed by magnetic Dy ions. We studied the magnetic-field dependence of the…

The magnetically frustrated spin ice family of materials is host to numerous exotic phenomena such as magnetic monopole excitations and macroscopic residual entropy extending to low temperature. A finite-temperature ordering transition in…

Among the frustrated magnetic materials, spin-ice stands out as a particularly interesting system. Residual entropy, freezing and glassiness, Kasteleyn transitions and fractionalisation of excitations in three dimensions all stem from a…
