[5] Since its discovery as a spin ice, dysprosium titanate has continued to be a focus of research because the magnetic frustration that results from its pyrochlore lattice.

[6] The study demonstrated the existence of Dirac strings in dysprosium titanate and the presence of monopole characteristics at low temperatures.

[4][8] It is notable for its ability to withstand structural change in the presence of radiation from high energy ions.

This phase also possesses a large neutron absorption cross section, which makes it desirable for various nuclear applications.

The traditional synthesis process involve high-frequency induction melting of dysprosium oxide and titania in a cooled crucible.
