Unconventional magnetization processes and thermal runaway in spin-ice Dy${}_2$Ti${}_2$O${}_7$

D. Slobinsky, C. Castelnovo, R. A. Borzi +4

We investigate the non-equilibrium behavior of the spin-ice material Dy${}_2$Ti${}_2$O${}_7$ by studying its magnetization as a function of the rate at which an external field is swept.…
