Determining the fate of the Pauling entropy in the classical spin ice material Dy_{2}Ti_{2}O_{7} with respect to the third law of thermodynamics has become an important test case for understanding the existence and stability of ice-rule states in general. The standard model of spin ice-the dipolar spin ice model-predicts an ordering transition at T≈0.15  K, but recent experiments by Pomaranski et al. suggest an entropy recovery over long timescales at temperatures as high as 0.5 K, much too…

Radio-frequency (14.6 MHz) AC magnetic susceptibility, χAC′, of Dy2Ti2O7 was measured using self-oscillating tunnel-diode resonator, showing reasonable overlap with the literature data and connect at a critical endpoint of the first order transition line, suggesting that these features are frequency independent.

Splitting of the magnetic monopole pair-creation energy in spin ice.
• Physics

It is shown that the electric dipole moments inherent to the magnetic monopoles lift the degeneracy of their creation process and lead to a splitting of the pair-creation energy, which can explain the controversially discussed discrepancies between the measured temperature dependence of the magnetic relaxation times and previous theory.
