SUMMARY:Specific heat and magnetization studies of Dy2Ti2O7
DESCRIPTION:Jan Kycia\, Department of Physics and Astronomy\, University o
 f Waterloo.Dy2Ti2O7 is a material with a pyrochlore lattice of corner-sh
 aring tetrahedral.  Crystal-field effects constrain the magnetic moments 
 of the rare-earth ions to  point along the axis connecting the centres of
  the two neighbouring tetrahedra. As a result\, the magnetic moments are 
 highly frustrated and possess a ground state containing a large residual 
 entropy similar to water ice. Because of this similarity to water ice\, t
 he system is called a spin ice. Recently a very interesting perspective  
 has been developed in which the thermal excitations in the magnetic spins 
 are viewed as magnetic monopoles. In this talk\, I will review some of t
 he progress in understanding spin ice and the monopole picture. I will di
 scuss my group’s results of specific heat\, ac susceptibility and magne
 tization measurements.Site web du groupe du Prof. Kycia Cette conférence
