Abstract

Presents research which studied macroscopic degeneracy in a magnet with the pyrochlore structure, or spin ice. How common water ice is an unusual solid; Previous research; Corresponding behavior between water ice and spin ice in degeneracy; Data for spin entropy for Dy2Ti2O7; Behavior in spin ice not accessible in water ice.
