Abstract

Ice-rule breaking spin flip in the pyrochlore spin-ice compound Dy 2Ti2O7 has been studied in a field rotated in the plane, by means of angle-resolved magnetization measurements. The field-angle dependence of the spin flip field Hc() has been obtained. Close to the [111] direction, Hc() exhibits a marked deviation from a nearest-neighbour spin-ice model, suggesting the importance of long-range dipolar interaction and a stability of the kagomé ice state.
