MJP Gingras, PA McClarty - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
The spin ice materials, including Ho 2 Ti 2 O 7 and Dy 2 Ti 2 O 7, are rare-earth pyrochlore
magnets which, at low temperatures, enter a constrained paramagnetic state with an …

Colloquium: Artificial spin ice: Designing and imaging magnetic frustration

C Nisoli, R Moessner, P Schiffer - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2013 - APS
Frustration, the presence of competing interactions, is ubiquitous in the physical sciences
and is a source of degeneracy and disorder, which in turn gives rise to new and interesting …

Dynamical fractal and anomalous noise in a clean magnetic crystal

JN Hallén, SA Grigera, DA Tennant, C Castelnovo… - Science, 2022 - science.org
Fractals—objects with noninteger dimensions—occur in manifold settings and length scales
in nature. In this work, we identify an emergent dynamical fractal in a disorder-free …

Topological frustration of artificial spin ice

J Drisko, T Marsh, J Cumings - Nature communications, 2017 - nature.com
Frustrated systems, typically characterized by competing interactions that cannot all be
simultaneously satisfied, display rich behaviours not found elsewhere in nature. Artificial …

Magnitude of quantum effects in classical spin ices

JG Rau, MJP Gingras - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
The pyrochlore spin ice compounds Dy 2 Ti 2 O 7 and Ho 2 Ti 2 O 7 are well described by
classical Ising models down to low temperatures. Given the empirical success of this …
