Spin-Ice State of the Quantum Heisenberg Antiferromagnet on the Pyrochlore Lattice

Yuan Huang, Kun Chen, Youjin Deng +2

We study the low-temperature physics of the $SU(2)$-symmetric spin-$1/2$ Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a pyrochlore lattice and find fingerprint evidence for the thermal spin-ice s…
