Data for Magnetic monopole density and antiferromagnetic domain control in spin-ice iridates

A canonical example is the emergence of magnetic-charge-carrying quasiparticles in spin-ice compounds. Despite extensive work, a reliable experimental indicator of the density of these magnetic monopoles is yet to be found.

Using measurements on single crystals of Ho2Ir2O7 combined with dipolar Monte Carlo simulations, we show that the isothermal magnetoresistance is highly sensitive to the monopole density. Moreover, we uncover an unexpected and strong coupling between the monopoles on the holmium sublattice and the antiferromagnetically ordered iridium ions. These results pave the way towards a quantitative experimental measure of monopole density and demonstrate the ability to control antiferromagnetic domain walls using a uniform external magnetic field, a key goal in the design of next-generation spintronic devices<br><br>This data file contains the data shown in: The main panel of Figure 1a The inset of Figure 1a Figure 1b The main panel of Figure 2a The inset of Figure 2a Figure 2b The main panel of Figure 2c The inset of Figure 2c Figure 2d Figure 3a Figure 3b The inset to Figure 3b Figure 3c Figure 3d Supplementary Information Figure 1a Supplementary Information Figure 1b Supplementary Information Figure 2 Supplementary Information Figure 3a Supplementary Information Figure 3b Supplementary Information Figure 3c Supplementary Information Figure 3d Supplementary Information Figure 3e Supplementary Information Figure 3f Supplementary Information Figure 4a Supplementary Information Figure 4b Supplementary Information Figure 5 Supplementary Information Figure 6a Supplementary Information Figure 6b Supplementary Information Figure 7a Supplementary Information Figure 7b Supplementary Information Figure 7c Supplementary Information Figure 7d Supplementary Information Figure 8a Supplementary Information Figure 8b
