Emergence of geometric order from topological constraints in a three-dimensional Coulomb phase
Benjamin Canals
The emergence of order and geometric limit shapes in a three-dimensional (3D) Coulomb phase subject to domain wall boundary conditions (DWBC) is investigated. While the arctic circ…

Ampère phase in frustrated magnets
N. Rougemaille, J. Coraux, B. Canals
We report a new class of algebraic spin liquids, in which the macroscopically degenerate ground state manifold is not Coulombic, like in spin ices, but Ampère-like. The local cons…

Square ice Coulomb phase as a percolated vertex lattice
Johann Coraux, Nicodème Rougier, Benjamin Canals +1
The square ice is a canonical example of a Coulomb phase in two dimensions: Its ground state is extensively degenerate and satisfies a local constraint on the spin arrangement (the…
