Metastability and dynamics in remanent states of square artificial spin ice with long-range dipole interactions
arXiv:2308.01985 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.108.174405
Abstract
After removal of an applied magnetic field, artificial square spin ice can be left in a metastable remanent state, with nonzero residual magnetization and excess energy above the ground state. Using a model of magnetic islands with dipoles of fixed magnitude and local anisotropies, the remanent states are precisely determined here, including all long-range dipole interactions. Small deviations away from remanent states are analyzed and the frequencies of modes of oscillation are determined. Some modes reach zero frequency at high symmetry wave vectors, such that the stability limits are found, as determined by the local anisotropy strength relative to the dipolar coupling strength.
