Magnetic Charge Transport in Spin Ice

DOI

We have performed further measurements on Dy2Ti2O7 and confirmed the observation of magnetic charge transport. Given the time constraints of our previous experiment not all aspects of the experiment were performed. We aim to test the Wien effect at higher magnetic fields using the EMU spectrometer due to the higher fields and better count rates accessible. It will be prudent to test our observations on EMU and spend further time characterising the background as field lines from the sample are likely to penetrate into the Silver background holder at high temperatures, this is one plausible explanation to explain why our experimentally observed value of magnetic charge is not valid at high temperatures. Moreover we will repeat the measurement on a magnetic blank (Y2Ti2O7) to try and understand the origin of muon relaxation observed at low temperatures where the Wien effect is valid.
