We study a frustrated two-dimensional array of dipoles forming an artificial rectangular spin ice with horizontal and vertical lattice parameters given by $a$ and $b$ respectively. We show that the ice regime could be stabilized by appropriate choices for the ratio $gamma equiv a/b$. Our results show that for $gamma approx sqrt{3}$, i.e., when the center of the islands form a triangular lattice, the ground state becomes degenerate. Therefore, while the magnetic charges (monopoles) are excitations connected by an energetic string for general rectangular lattices (including the particular case of a square lattice), they are practically free to move for a special rectangular lattice with $gamma approx sqrt{3}$. Besides that, our results show that for $gamma > sqrt{3}$ the system is highly anisotropic in such a way that, even for this range out of the ice regime, the string tension almost vanishes along a particular direction of the array. We also discuss the ground state transition and some thermodynamic properties of the system.
The modification of geometry and interactions in two-dimensional magnetic nanosystems has enabled a range of studies addressing the magnetic order, collective low-energy dynamics, and emergent magnetic properties, in e.g. artificial spin ice structur
Magnetricity- the magnetic equivalent of electricity- was recently verified experimentally for the first time. Indeed, just as the stream of electric charges produces electric current, emergent magnetic monopoles have been observed to roam freely (ge
Magnetic analogue of an isolated free electric charge, i.e., a magnet with a single north or south pole, is a long sought-after particle which remains elusive so far. In magnetically frustrated pyrochlore solids, a classical analogue of monopole was
We study planar rectangular-like arrays composed by macroscopic dipoles (magnetic bars with size around a few centimeters) separated by lattice spacing a and b along each direction. Physical behavior of such macroscopic artificial spin ice (MASI) sys
Systems that exhibit topologically protected edge states are interesting both from a fundamental point of view as well as for potential applications, the latter because of the absence of back-scattering and robustness to perturbations. It is desirabl
