Ice Rule Breakdown and frustrated antiferrotoroidicity in an artificial colloidal Cairo ice
Carolina Rodríguez-Gallo, Antonio Ortiz-Ambriz, Cristiano Nisoli +1
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.…

Topological Boundary Constraints in Artificial Colloidal Ice
Carolina Rodríguez-Gallo, Antonio Ortiz-Ambriz, Pietro Tierno
The effect of boundaries and how these can be used to influence the bulk behaviour in geometrically frustrated systems are both long-standing puzzles, often relegated to secondary…
