Abstract

Ice-rule breaking spin flip in the pyrochlore spin-ice compoundDy2Ti2O7 has been studied in a field rotated in the plane, by means of angle-resolved magnetization measurements. The field-angle dependence of the spinflip field Hc(θ) has been obtained. Close to the [111] direction,Hc(θ) exhibits a marked deviation from a nearest-neighbour spin-ice model, suggesting theimportance of long-range dipolar interaction and a stability of the kagomé ice state.
