We investigate the non-equilibrium behavior of the spin-ice material Dy$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ by studying its magnetization as a function of the rate at which an external field is swept. At temperatures below the enigmatic "freezing" temperature…
We provide experimental and numerical evidence for thermal excitations within and among magnetic mesospins, forming artificial spin ice structures. At low temperatures, a decrease in magnetization and increase in susceptibility is observed…
Kagome spin ice is one of the canonical examples of highly frustrated magnets. The effective magnetic degrees of freedom in kagome spin ice are Ising spins residing on a two-dimensional network of corner-sharing triangles. Due to strong…
We present theoretical evidence that a magnetic monopole emerges in dynamic magnetic systems in the presence of the spin-orbit interaction. The monopole field is expressed in terms of spin damping associated with magnetization dynamics. We…
Artificial spin ice systems have been introduced as a possible mean to investigate frustration effects in a well-controlled manner by fabricating lithographically-patterned two-dimensional arrangements of interacting magnetic…
We study the quantum spin dynamics of a frustrated XXZ model on a pyrochlore lattice by using large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulation and stochastic analytic continuation. In the low-temperature quantum spin ice regime, we observe…
We propose a classical model Hamiltonian with a ground state presenting a spin ice structure. We analyze the introduction of metastable excitations on this ground state, showing the emergence of pairs of magnetic monopoles. The interaction…
Magnetization noise measurements on the spin ice Dy${}_2$Ti${}_2$O${}_7$ have revealed a remarkable `pink noise' power spectrum $S(f,T)$ below 4 K, including evidence of magnetic monopole excitations diffusing in a fractal landscape.…
We model the dynamics of magnetization in an artificial analog of spin ice specializing to the case of a honeycomb network of connected magnetic nanowires. The inherently dissipative dynamics is mediated by the emission, propagation and…
Spin ice systems display a variety of very nontrivial properties, the most striking being the existence in them of magnetic monopoles. Such monopole states can also have nontrivial electric properties: there exist electric dipoles attached…
We consider quantum spin ice in a temperature regime in which its response is dominated by the coherent motion of a dilute gas of monopoles. The hopping amplitude of a monopole is sensitive to the configuration of its surrounding spins,…
We study the quantum dynamics of fractional excitations in quantum spin ice. We focus on the density of states in the two-monopole sector, $\rho(\omega)$, as this can be connected to the wavevector-integrated dynamical structure factor…
We study quantum spin ice in an external magnetic field applied along a $<100>$ direction. When quantum spin fluctuations are weak, elementary excitations are quantum strings with monopoles at their ends manifested as multiple spin-wave…
We present the full phase diagram of the dumbbell model of spin ice as a function of temperature, chemical potential and staggered chemical potential which breaks the translational lattice symmetry in favour of charge crystal ordering. We…
In this work we study demagnetization protocols for an artificial spin ice in a triangular geometry. Our results show that a simple hysteresis-like process is very efficient in driving the system to its ground state, even for a relatively…
The generalised longitudinal susceptibility $\chi({\bf q}, \omega)$ affords a sensitive measure of the spatial and temporal correlations of magnetic monopoles in spin ice. Starting with the monopole model, a mean field expression for…
Most materials freeze when cooled to sufficiently low temperature. We find that magnetic dipoles randomly distributed in a solid matrix condense into a spin liquid with spectral properties on cooling that are the diametric opposite of those…
We describe degenerate square spin as an ensemble of magnetic monopoles coupled via an emergent entropic field that subsumes the effect of the underlying spin vacuum. We compute their effective free energy, entropic interaction,…
Spin ice, a peculiar thermal state of a frustrated ferromagnet on the pyrochlore lattice, has a finite entropy density and excitations carrying magnetic charge. By combining analytical arguments and Monte Carlo simulations, we show that…
Using the Dirac string formalism for monopoles we expose an extensive analogy between magnetic monopole excitations in the dumbbell model of spin ice and those of the vacuum. In both cases the Dirac strings are defined in the space-time of…
