From confinement to deconfinement of magnetic monopoles in artificial rectangular spin ices
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 γ ≡ a / b . Our results show that fo...
