Fragmentation of magnetism in artificial kagome dipolar spin ice

By nanofabricating arrays of dipolar-coupled bistable single-domain nanomagnets, artificial model systems exhibiting collective ordering may be realized. Here, the authors present signatures of spin fragmentation in low-energy states of an artificial kagome ice.
