摘要:

研究了Dy_2Ti_2O_7在[111]方向磁场作用下沿(111)面和垂直于(111)面的低温热导率(κ)。除了在自旋冰态到kagomé冰态再到极化态的场诱导转变过程中κ的阶跃式减小外,一个反常的现象是在很低的温度下,当上下扫过磁场时,κ(H)等温线显示出明显的不可逆性.令人惊讶的是,这种现象与众所周知的磁化滞后没有对应关系。这种不可逆性的可能起源进行了讨论,特别是,磁单极子自旋冰化合物的弱无序的钉扎效应提出。

英文摘要:

We study the low-temperature thermal conductivity (κ) of Dy_2Ti_2O_7 along and perpendicular to the (111) plane and under the magnetic field along the [111] direction. Besides the step-like decreases of κat the field-induced transitions from the spin-ice state to the kagomé-ice state and then to the polarized state, an abnormal phenomenon is that the κ(H) isotherms show a clear irreversibility at very low temperatures upon sweeping magnetic field up and down. This phenomenon surprisingly has no correspondence with the well-known magnetization hysteresis. Possible origins for this irreversibility are discussed; in particular, a pinning effect of magnetic monopoles in spin ice compound by the weak disorders is proposed.
