Abstract

Ground-state entropy for an Ising pyrochlore lattice is calculated exactly under a certain range of magnetic field along the [111] axis, where the ground-state entropy shows a plateau. The obtained entropy is 0.0808kB per spin, which agrees with the experimental value. Pauling's method for estimating the ground-state entropy for the ice problem is also applied to the present case. Comparison of the result obtained with our exact result shows that Pauling's method underestimates the entropy by about 10%.
