We examine the statistical mechanics of spin-ice materials with a [100] magnetic field. We show that the approach to saturated magnetisation is, in the low-temperature limit, an example of a 3D Kasteleyn transition, which is topological in…
We study the three-dimensional Kasteleyn transition in both nearest neighbours and dipolar spin ice models using an algorithm that conserves the number of excitations. We first limit the interactions range to nearest neighbours to test the…
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…
We study the nearest-neighbor spin-ice model subjected to a magnetic field applied along the global [111] and [110] directions, focusing on the role of sample geometry in stabilizing topological phase transitions. While no Kasteleyn…
We study single crystals of Dy$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ and Ho$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ under magnetic field and stress applied along their [001] direction. We find that many of the features that the emergent gauge field of spin ice confers to the macroscopic…
We report inelastic neutron scattering measurements of low energy ($\hbar \omega < 10$ meV) magnetic excitations in the "11" system Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_{x}$. The spin correlations are two-dimensional (2D) in the superconducting samples…
We present a dynamic scaling theory to describe relaxation dynamics following a magnetic-field quench near an unconventional phase transition in the magnetic material spin ice. Starting from a microscopic model, we derive an effective…
The thermal equilibrium properties of the spin-ice material DTO, including specific heat, magnetization, and spin correlations, could be successfully reproduced by a model featuring magnetic interactions up to the third nearest neighbor and…
In this article we study the classical nearest-neighbour spin-ice model (nnSI) by means of Monte Carlo simulations, using the Wang-Landau algorithm. The nnSI describes several of the salient features of the spin-ice materials. Despite its…
Complex disordered states - from liquids and glasses to exotic quantum matter - are ubiquitous in nature. Their key properties include finite entropy, power-law correlations and emergent organising principles. In spin ice, spin correlations…
We study dynamics in classical spin ice following a magnetic field quench to close to the Kasteleyn transition, using Monte Carlo simulations and dynamic scaling theory to characterize the relaxation of the magnetization and the density of…
Spin correlations and fluctuations in the 3d-transition-metal-based icosahedral quasicrystal Zn-Fe-Sc have been investigated by neutron scattering using polycrystalline samples. Magnetic diffuse scattering has been observed in the elastic…
We present a combined analytical and numerical study of the entropy as a function of magnetization for an orientable 2D spin-ice model that exhibits a Kasteleyn transition. The model that we use is related to the well known six-vertex model…
This paper is divided into two parts. The first part concerns several standard scenarios for how short-range spin glasses might behave at low temperature. Earlier theorems of the authors are reviewed, and some new results presented,…
We present our theoretical and numerical results on thermodynamic properties and the microscopic mechanism of two successive transitions in vanadium spinel oxides $A$V$_2$O$_4$ ($A$=Zn, Mg, or Cd) obtained by Monte Carlo calculations of an…
The pyrochlore material Yb2Ti2O7 displays unexpected quasi-two-dimensional (2D) magnetic correlations within a cubic lattice environment at low temperatures, before entering an exotic disordered ground state below T=265mK. We report neutron…
Using a combined analysis from Poisson-Dirichlet and symmetry-breaking calculations as well as quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we examine the ordered phase and the thermal phase transition of the three-dimensional spin-1 quantum magnet on…
The application of a magnetic field along the [111] direction in the spin ice compounds leads to two magnetization plateaux, in the first of which the ground state entropy is reduced but still remains extensive. We observe that under…
Magnetic order on the spatially anisotropic triangular lattice of $\alpha$-NaMnO$_2$ is studied via neutron diffraction measurements. The transition into a commensurate, collinear antiferromagnetic ground state with $\mathbf{k}=(0.5, 0.5,…
In this work, we show that, due to the alternating orientation of the spins in the ground state of the artificial square spin ice, the influence of a set of spins at a certain distance of a reference spin decreases faster than the expected…
