Dy₂Ti₂O₇ is one of the well known spin-ice compounds in which magnetic monopoles are emergent [1]. These monopoles carry electric dipoles [2] and therefore their dynamics is apparent in the dielectrical response ε^*(ν). Recently published data reveal the speeding up of a dielectric relaxation process reaching a relaxation rate of up to ν ∼ 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, leave a fingerprint in the magnetic ac-permeability. 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.
