The Debye-H\"uckel theory describes rigorously the thermal equilibrium of classical Coulomb fluids in the high-temperature $\beta\to 0$ regime ($\beta$ denotes the inverse temperature). It is generally believed that the Debye-H\"uckel…

In the ground state of Ho2Ti2O7 spin ice, the disorder of the magnetic moments follows the same rules as the proton disorder in water ice. Excitations take the form of magnetic monopoles that interact via a magnetic Coulomb interaction.…
