Topological Phase Transitions and Their Thermodynamic Fate in Arbitrary- Pyrochlore Spin Ice
Sena Watanabe, Yukitoshi Motome, Haruki Watanabe
We develop a self-contained theoretical framework that classifies the topological phases and critical phenomena of classical pyrochlore magnets with arbitrary spin , subject to…
Monte Carlo Study of the Phase Transition of the Model on a Diamond Lattice
Sena Watanabe, Yukitoshi Motome, Haruki Watanabe
We study the phase transition of the classical model on a diamond lattice by Monte Carlo simulations using the Wolff cluster algorithm. Finite-size scaling (FSS) analysis of t…
Continuous crossover between high-pressure ice phases VII and X driven by monopole screening: a model study
Sena Watanabe, Yukitoshi Motome, Haruki Watanabe
The proton-disordered molecular phase of water ice (ice-VII) and its ultrahigh-pressure non-molecular phase (ice-X) share identical macroscopic crystal symmetry (space group $Pn\ba…
Dualities and Topological Classification of the Pyrochlore Spin Ice
Sena Watanabe, Yukitoshi Motome, Haruki Watanabe
We resolve the phase diagram of the pyrochlore spin ice, which exhibits trivial paramagnetic, U(1) Coulomb, and spin nematic phases. In the monopole-free limit, the system ca…
