Classical Topological Order in Kagome Ice
Andrew J. Macdonald, Peter C. W. Holdsworth, Roger G. Melko
We examine the onset of classical topological order in a nearest-neighbor kagome ice model. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we characterize the topological sectors of the groundstat…
Magnetic Monopole Dynamics in Spin Ice
Ludovic D. C. Jaubert, Peter C. W. Holdsworth
One of the most remarkable examples of emergent quasi-particles, is that of the "fractionalization" of magnetic dipoles in the low energy configurations of materials known as "spin…
Spin ice under pressure: symmetry enhancement and infinite order multicriticality
Ludovic D. C. Jaubert, J. T. Chalker, Peter C. W. Holdsworth +1
We study the low-temperature behaviour of spin ice when uniaxial pressure induces a tetragonal distortion. There is a phase transition between a Coulomb liquid and a fully magnetis…
