Geometric frustration and the ice rule are two concepts that are intimately connected and widespread across condensed matter. The first refers to the inability of a system to satisfy …
We combine experiments and numerical simulations to investigate the low energy states and the emergence of topological defects in an artificial colloidal ice in the Cairo geometry …
We derive the equilibrium phase diagram of the classical dipolar Ising antiferromagnet at the mean-field level on a geometry that mimics the two-dimensional kagome lattice. Our mean …
We use numerical simulations to investigate the low-energy states of a bidisperse colloidal ice, realized by confining two types of magnetic particles into double wells of different …
We study an artificial spin ice system consisting of two identical layers separated by a height offset h. For a small separation, the layers are shown to attract each other provided the …
Geometric frustration is a general phenomenon influencing the behavior of diverse natural systems across different length scales. Geometric frustration arises when the symmetry of …
Geometric frustration has been the focus of studying complex many-body interactions where exotic phenomena are widely observed. Among all systems possessing geometric …

We combine experiments and numerical simulations to investigate the low energy states and the emergence of topological defects in an artificial colloidal ice in the Cairo geometry …
Artificial spin ices (ASI) have been shown to exhibit dynamic magnetic responses that are dramatically different from plane magnetic thin films. A number of magnetic ASI have been …
