In this work, we explore the magnetic behavior of diluted spin-ice systems, where magnetic moments are randomly removed at various concentrations. We concentrate on features in which the effect of long range dipolar interactions (usually…
We study the dipolar spin-ice model at fixed density of single excitations, $\rho$, using a Monte Carlo algorithm where processes of creation and annihilation of such excitations are banned. In the limit of $\rho$ going to zero, this model…

Spin liquids are exotic phases of matter that often support emergent gauge fields and quasi-particle excitations. While spin liquids are commonly known for remaining disordered, their definition has been extended to include phases with…
Interactions are responsible for intriguing physics, e.g. emergence of exotic ground states and excitations, in a wide range of systems. Here we theoretically demonstrate that dipole-dipole interaction leads to bosonic eigen-excitations…

The presence of a permanent electric dipole moment in an elementary particle implies Charge-Parity symmetry violation and thus could help explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry observed in our universe. Within the context of the Standard…
A new static and azimuthally symmetric magnetic monopolelike object, which looks like a Dirac monopole when seen from far away but smoothly changes to a dipole near the monopole position and vanishes at the origin, is discussed. This…
Spin ice is a paradigmatic frustrated system famous for the emergence of magnetic monopoles and a large magnetic entropy at low temperatures. It exhibits unusual behavior in the presence of an external magnetic field as a result of the…
