Materials with a geometrically frustrated magnetic pyrochlore lattice have been of interest due to their unusual ground states. Tb 2 Ti 2 O 7 is known for having a spin liquid ground state which does not transition to a long-range ordered state down to at least 50 mK. Ho 2 Ti 2 O 7 has a macroscopically degenerate spin ice ground state which resembles that of the proton ordering in water ice. Heat Capacity measurements of Tb 2 Ti 2- x Sn x O 7 were done down to 0.36 K and AC magnetic susceptibility measurements of Ho 2- x …
