abstract = {In a class of frustrated magnets known as spin ice,
magnetic monopoles emerge as classical defects and interact
via the magnetic Coulomb law. With quantum-mechanical
interactions, these magnetic charges are carried by
fractionalized bosonic quasi-particles, spinons, which can
undergo Bose-Einstein condensation through a first-order
transition via the Higgs mechanism. Here, we report evidence
of a Higgs transition from a magnetic Coulomb liquid to a
ferromagnet in single-crystal Yb(2)Ti(2)O(7). Polarized
neutron scattering experiments show that the diffuse
[111]-rod scattering and pinch-point features, which develop
on cooling are suddenly suppressed below T(C)~0.21 K, where
magnetic Bragg peaks and a full depolarization of the
neutron spins are observed with thermal hysteresis,
indicating a first-order ferromagnetic transition. Our
results are explained on the basis of a quantum spin-ice
model, whose high-temperature phase is effectively described
as a magnetic Coulomb liquid, whereas the ground state shows
a nearly collinear ferromagnetism with gapped spin
excitations.},
