Dy2Ti2O7 and Ho2Ti2O7 have attracted enormous scientific interest because of the unusual spin-ice ground state and exotic excitations – magnetic monopoles. In this work, we investigated how the lattice reacted to the change of the monopole density from the spin-ice through the Kagome ice to the saturated monopole phase and whether the very slow monopole dynamics predicted in theory were also detectable in lattice effects. We have performed magnetostriction and thermal-expansion measurements with a capacitive dilatometer on Dy2Ti2O7 at temperatures down to 0.28 K to explore the lattice effects in the different regimes: Indeed, we have observed a field-dependent lattice anomaly and have found lattice relaxation effects which could be related to previously proposed monopole dynamics. This research has been supported by the DFG within project C01 of SFB 1143.
