Dilution effects in Ho${}_{2-x}$Y${}_x$Sn${}_2$O${}_7$: from the Spin Ice to the single-ion magnet

G. Prando, P. Carretta, S. R. Giblin +3

A study of the modifications of the magnetic properties of Ho${}_{2-x}$Y${}_x$Sn${}_2$O${}_7$ upon varying the concentration of diamagnetic Y${}^{3+}$ ions is presented. Magnetization and sp…
