Abstract

Frustrated pyrochlore magnets with Ising-like moments have attracted much attention due to the spin ice and spin liquid disordered states these materials display at low temperatures. We recently focused attention on Er2Ti2O7 and Yb2Ti2O7 which possess local XY, or planar, moments on the pyrochlore lattice - a network of corner sharing tetrahedra. I will describe our neutron scattering experiments in which magnetic long range order is destroyed by application of a (110) magnetic field in the XY antiferromagnetic pyrochlore Er2Ti2O7, and experiments in which unexpected field-induced magnetic order is observed in its ferromagnetic counterpart, Yb2Ti2O7.
