Magnetocaloric study of spin relaxation in dipolar spin iceDy2Ti2O7

Abstract: The magnetocaloric effect of polycrystalline samples of pure and Y-doped dipolar spin ice Dy2Ti2O7 was investigated at temperatures from nominally 0.3 K to 6 K and in magnetic fields of up to 2 T. As well as being of intrinsic interest, it is proposed that the magnetocaloric effect may be used as an appropriate tool for the qualitative study of slow relaxation processes in the spin ice regime. In the high temperature regime the temperature change on adiabatic demagnetization was found to be consistent with pre… Show more

“…The high temperature behaviour mirrors the known behaviour of the magnetic relaxation time, decreasing with temperature as e constant/T (Ref. 10,19 ). At low temperature λ increases with temperature, consistent with the expected λ ∝ ν ∝ α.…”

“…No long-range ordered state will be favourable in the whole sample. The effect of tensions and distortions could also be intimately related with the experimental observation of freezing or glassy behaviour below temperatures of about 0.6 K35363738.…”

“…For example, DSIM simulations do not accurately reproduce the measured χðω, TÞ data at low temperatures (34). Furthermore, below ∼0.5 K macroscopic relaxation rates in Dy 2 Ti 2 O 7 become ultraslow (20,21,30,33,(35)(36)(37); this reflects a divergence of microscopic relaxation times (30,33) that is unexplained quantitatively within the present DSIM/MMSI models. Thus, although Debye-Hückel calculations (28) and DSIM/MMSI simulations (38,39) offer clear improvements over a simple Arrhenius form for τðTÞ, they still significantly underestimate the observed magnitude and rate of increase of τ below 1 K. In fact, as emphasized in a recent review (14), no studies of Dy 2 Ti 2 O 7 have yielded direct and unambiguous evidence of a fluid of delocalized magnetic monopoles.…”
