AI总结:

本研究利用交流量热法探测低温下Dy$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$的热容动力学响应,结合动力学Monte Carlo模拟,证实比热频率响应源于自旋冰本征磁单极子慢动力学,补充了弛豫时间与Monte Carlo步时间尺度的相关实验数据。

摘要:

自旋冰化合物为凝聚态体系中磁单极子动力学的探索提供了途径。本研究采用交流量热法,在0.5-5 K的低温范围内探测经典自旋冰化合物Dy$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$热容的动力学响应。在0.01-500 Hz的频率区间内,我们测得的热容呈现出强烈的频率依赖性,得以研究对应时间尺度下的热弛豫效应。弛豫时间$τ$由热容的频率依赖性确定,定义为热容达到饱和的特征频率的倒数。提取得到的$τ$在1 K以下表现出发散行为,在0.65 K时达到约6 s,与既往研究中观测到的弛豫时间一致,对应的比热在该温度附近出现峰值。通过开展动力学Monte Carlo模拟,我们证实比热的频率响应源于自旋冰本征的缓慢磁单极子动力学。我们测得4 K下每个Monte Carlo步的时间尺度为20 ms,这与既往研究中通过其他技术得到的2.5 ms的结果存在差异。

英文摘要:

Spin ice compounds enable the exploration of the dynamics of magnetic monopoles in condensed matter systems. In this study, we use ac calorimetry to probe the dynamical response of the heat capacity of the classical spin-ice compounds Dy$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ at low temperatures (0.5-5 K). Using frequencies of 0.01-500 Hz, we find a strong frequency dependence in the measured heat capacity and are able to study thermal relaxation effects on the corresponding timescales. The relaxation time $τ$ is determined from the frequency dependence of the heat capacity as the characteristic frequency below which the heat capacity saturates. The extracted $τ$ shows a divergent behavior below 1 K reaching $\sim$6 s at 0.65 K, similar to the relaxation time seen in previous studies. Corresponding specific heat shows a maximum around this temperature. Performing dynamic Monte Carlo simulations, we verify that the specific heat frequency response has its origin in the slow magnetic monopole dynamics indigenous to spin ice. We find a timescale of 20 ms per Monte Carlo step at 4 K in contrast to 2.5 ms mentioned in previous studies by other techniques.
