Electric activity at magnetic moment fragmentation in spin ice

Spin-ices can exhibit a variety of remarkable phenomena, not least the appearance of emergent magnetic monopoles. In this theory paper, Daniel Khomskii shows that in the moment fragmentation state, the electric dipoles associated with magnetic monopoles become ordered, leading to a change in electri...
