Quantum melting of spin ice: emergent cooperative quadrupole and chirality.

Shigeki Onoda1, Yoichi Tanaka.   

Abstract

Quantum melting of spin ice is proposed for pyrochlore-lattice magnets Pr2TM2O7 (TM=Ir, Zr, and Sn). The quantum superexchange Hamiltonian having a nontrivial magnetic anisotropy is derived on the basis of atomic non-Kramers magnetic doublets. The ground states exhibit a cooperative ferroquadrupole and pseudospin chirality, forming a magnetic analog of smectic liquid crystals. Our theory accounts for dynamic spin-ice behaviors experimentally observed in Pr2TM2O7.
