Tunable algebraic correlations and Kasteleyn transition in kagome ice

DOI

We propose to continue our search for the Kasteleyn transition in the kagome ice phase of the spin ice Ho2Ti2O7. The experiment requires the applied magnetic field to be slightly tilted away from the [111] axis of the crystal, in a precisely controlled direction. The magnetic diffuse scattering is expected to evolve, with a particular asymmetric scaling form, as a function of field, tilt, or temperature. Our recent experiment on WISH has shown that we are able to use a piezo driven micro-goniometer to adjust the sample tilt in-situ, at 0.5 K, and to measure diffuse scattering from the (small) spherical sample we have obtained for this project. We will continue this work, with further refinements, in order to extract explicitly the tilt dependence at fixed field and temperature (0.5 K/1 T), and then the field and temperature dependence of the diffuse scattering at fixed tilt.
