Emergent charge crystallization and frustration in a particle anti-spin Ice
Renaud Baillou, Matthew Terkel, Cristiano Nisoli +1
Artificial spin ices have transcended their origins in frustrated rare-earth pyrochlores to become a versatile platform for engineering exotic states of matter. Across diverse impl…

Memory of topologically constrained disorder in Shakti artificial spin ice
Priyanka Priyanka, Cristiano Nisoli, Yair Shokef
Complex behaviors often sit at a critical threshold between order and disorder. But not all disorder is created equal. Disorder can be trivial or constrained, and correlated disord…

Emergent dimer-model topological order and quasi-particle excitations in liquid crystals: combinatorial vortex lattices
Cuiling Meng, Jin-Sheng Wu, Žiga Kos +3
Liquid crystals have proven to provide a versatile experimental and theoretical platform for studying topological objects such as vortices, skyrmions, and hopfions. In parallel, in…
