Abstract

At the most general level, Quantum Spin Ice refers to a pyrochlore system in which ice-rule obeying configurations are endowed with dynamics from quantum fluctuations. To generate such a state experimentally, material candidates must support anisotropic exchange interactions between localized spins on the pyrochlore lattice. Quantum fluctuations result from smaller XY-like interactions that compete with the dominant ferromagnetic Ising interactions required for classical spin ice. These quantum fluctuations modify the experimental signatures associated with classical spin ice, and may also generate novel ground states, such as a U(1) Quantum Spin Liquid. In the search for such exotic phases there have arisen several material candidates; Yb\(_2B_2\)O\(_7\) (B = Sn, Ti), Tb\(_2B_2\)O\(_7\) (B = Sn, Ti) and Pr\(_2B_2\)O\(_7\) (B = Sn, Zr, Ir, Hf) all display properties consistent with a dynamic version of spin ice, but their lowest temperature properties are not yet understood. The status of the current literature on these materials is reviewed here.
