Equilibrium Field Theory of Magnetic Monopoles in Degenerate Square Spin Ice: Correlations, Entropic Interactions, and Charge Screening Regimes
arXiv:2009.11331 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.102.220401
Abstract
We describe degenerate square spin as an ensemble of magnetic monopoles coupled via an emergent entropic field that subsumes the effect of the underlying spin vacuum. We compute their effective free energy, entropic interaction, correlations, screening, and structure factors that coincide with the experimental ones. Unlike in pyrochlore ices, a dimensional mismatch between real and entropic interactions leads to weak singularities at the pinch points and algebraic correlations at long distance. This algebraic screening can be, however, camouflaged by a pseudo-screening regime.
