Magnetic field response of dipolar-octupolar quantum spin ice
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Dipolar-octupolar (DO) pyrochlore systems ${\mathrm{Ce}}_{2}$(Zr,${\mathrm{Sn},\mathrm{Hf})}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{7}$ have garnered much attention as recent investigations suggest that they may stabilize a novel quantum spin ice (QSI), a quantum spin liquid (QSL) with an emergent $U(1)$ gauge field. In particular, the experimentally estimated microscopic exchange parameters place ${\mathrm{Ce}}_{2}{\mathrm{Zr}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{7}$ in the $\ensuremath{\pi}$-flux QSI regime, and recent neutron scattering experiments have corroborated some key theoretical predictions. On the other hand, to make a definitive conclusion, more multifaceted experimental signatures are desirable. In this regard, recent neutron scattering investigation of the magnetic field dependence of the spin correlations in ${\mathrm{Ce}}_{2}{\mathrm{Zr}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{7}$ may provide valuable information. However, there have not been any comprehensive theoretical studies for comparison. In this paper, we provide such information using gauge mean-field theory (GMFT), allowing for theoretical investigation beyond the perturbative regime. In particular, we construct the phase diagrams for the [110], [111], and [001] field directions. Furthermore, we demonstrate the distinctive evolution of the equal-time and dynamical spin structure factors as a function of the magnetic field for each field direction. These predictions will help future experiments confirm the true nature of the DO-QSI.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
