Ordering and defects in artificial magnetic square ice : thermodynamic and field-driven processes
This thesis addresses the behaviour of artificial magnetic square spin ice patterns in response to applied magnetic fields and thermal activation. Two main points of focus are the access of well-defined statistical states and the properties of fractionalised “monopole” charge defects. Experimental i...
