Using tempered Monte Carlo simulations, we study the the spin-glass phase of dense packings of Ising dipoles pointing along random axes. We consider systems of L^3 dipoles (a) placed on the sites of a simple cubic lattice with lattice…
Despite a Curie-Weiss temperature $\theta_{\rm CW} \sim -14$ K, the Tb2Ti2O7 pyrochlore magnetic material lacks long range magnetic order down to at least $T^*\approx 50$ mK. It has recently been proposed that the low temperature collective…
The low-temperature picture of dipolar spin ice in terms of the Coulomb fluid of its fractionalised magnetic monopole excitations has allowed analytic and conceptual progress far beyond its original microscopic spin description. Here we…
The residual entropy of spin ice and other frustrated magnets is a property of considerable interest, yet the usual way of determining it, by integrating the heat capacity, is generally ambiguous. Here we note that a straightforward…
Electrons in the pyrochore iridates experience a large interaction energy in addition to a strong spin-orbit interaction. Both features make the iridates promising for realizing novel states such as the Topological Mott Insulator. The…

Thermal fluctuations lift the high ground state degeneracy of the classical nearest neighbour pyrochlore antiferromagnet, with easy plane anisotropy, giving a first order phase transition to a long range ordered state. We show, from spin…
We study the spin distillation of spinor gases of bosonic atoms and find two different mechanisms in ${}^{52}$Cr and $^{23}$Na atoms, both of which can cool effectively. The first mechanism involves dipolar scattering into initially…
We perform Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations of the behaviour of a film of insulating material containing a distribution of magnetic nanoparticles. We assume that these particles only interact through dipolar forces and we find that their…
