Dy2Ti2O7 if one of the well known spin-ice compounds in which magnetic monopoles are emergent [1]. It was predicted, that these monopoles carry electric dipole moments [2] and therefore the monopole dynamics can be seen in the dielectrical response ε*(ν).
Recently published data exhibits the speeding up of a dielectric relaxation process reaching a relaxation rate of up to ν0=100 kHz near the critical-endpoint of the (H,T)-phase diagram [3]. This process can be associated with the hopping of magnetic monopoles and should among other contributions also be seen in the magnetic ac-susceptibility.
Here we present a comparative broadband study of complex permittivity and permeability in the mK range in order to disentangle the different contributions to the dynamic response in the spin-ice Dy2Ti2O7.
