Excitation caging in a vertex-frustrated quasiperiodic Einstein artificial spin ice
T. Wang, F. Museur, G. M. Macauley +5
Naturally occurring bulk quasicrystals are rare, and magnetic instances are rarer still, with chemical constraints typically permitting the synthesis of approximants rather than tr…
Magnetic-Field Control of Emergent Order in a 3D Dipolar Pyramid Artificial Spin Ice
Luca Berchialla, Gavin M. Macauley, Flavien Museur +2
We realize a three-dimensional artificial spin ice of disconnected nanomagnets interacting solely via dipolar coupling, patterned on square pyramids. This Pyramid artificial spin i…
Realizing Blume-Capel Degrees of Freedom with Toroidal Moments in a Ruby Artificial Spin Ice
Luca Berchialla, Gavin M. Macauley, Flavien Museur +4
Realizing exotic Hamiltonians beyond the Ising model is a key pursuit in experimental statistical physics. One such example is the Blume-Capel model, a three-state spin model, whos…
Five-stage ordering to a topological-defect-mediated ground state in a buckyball artificial spin ice
Gavin M. Macauley, Luca Berchialla, Peter M. Derlet +1
Artificial spin ices are arrays of coupled nanomagnets, which exhibit a variety of fascinating collective behaviour including emergent magnetic monopoles, charge screening, and nov…
