Higgs transition from a magnetic Coulomb liquid to a ferromagnet in Yb2Ti2O7
2012
Quantum spin ice is a magnetic state of matter which can play host to monopole excitations. Using polarized neutron scattering, Chang et al. show that the quantum spin ice material ytterbium titanate undergoes a Higgs transition of emergent magnetic monopoles from a Coulomb liquid to a ferromagnetic phase.
