We report here numerical results on the low temperature properties of the dipolar spin ice model, obtained via a new loop algorithm which greatly improves the dynamics at low temperature. We recover the previously reported missing entropy in this model, and find a first order transition to a long range ordered phase with zero total magnetization at very low temperature. We discuss the relevance of these results to ${\\rm Dy_{2}Ti_{2}O_{7}}$ and ${\\rm Ho_{2}Ti_{2}O_{7}}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2001-02-26T21:41:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "long range order", "low temperature", "long range magnetic dipolar interactions", "dipolar spin ice model" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
