Ice-rule driven vertex frustration in a stretched pentagonal spin ice

We introduce the stretched pentagonal spin ice and study low-energy configurations achieved after thermal annealing. Using synchrotron-based photoemission electron microscopy, we reveal highly disordered configurations dominated by short-range order. Real-space observations reveal that an adherence...
