Phase transitions and crtical exponents in the six-vertex model on kagome lattices
Wei Zhang, Wanzhou Zhang, Jie Zhang +2
Inspired by the experimental realization of direct kagome spin ice [Yue et al., Nat. Nanotechnol. 19, 1101 (2024)], the theoretical six-vertex model on the kagome lattice is system…

First-Order Vortex Lattice Melting in Bilayer Ice: A Monte Carlo Method Study
Telun Zhong, Heyang Ma, Peijun Zheng +2
Inspired by the stable bilayer water ice grown in the laboratory (Nature 577, 60, 2020), we propose a model representing water ice as a two-layer six-vertex model. Using the loop u…
