Ho2Ge2O7 and Pr2Zr2O7: a tale of two spin ices
The spin ice state is a rare magnetic ground state that can be observed in the pyrochlore oxides, A2B2O7. In this ground state, the spins, align such that two spins point inwards and two outwards on each tetrahedron. The emergence of monopole-like excitations in spin ices has given rise to immense i...
