While particle-based ices are often considered essentially equivalent to magnet-based spin ices, the two differ essentially in frustration and energetics. We show that at equilibrium particle-based ices correspond exactly to spin ices…
In 1935, Pauling estimated the residual entropy of water ice with remarkable accuracy by considering the degeneracy of the ice rule {\it solely at the vertex level}. Indeed, his estimate works well for both the three-dimensional pyrochlore…

Geometrical designs of interacting nanomagnets have been studied extensively in the form of two dimensional arrays called artificial spin ice. These systems are usually designed to create geometrical frustration and are of interest for the…
Frustrated systems, typically characterized by competing interactions that cannot all be simultaneously satisfied, display rich behaviours not found elsewhere in nature. Artificial spin ice takes a materials-by-design approach to studying…
