Degeneracy and hysteresis in a bidisperse colloidal ice
We use numerical simulations to investigate the low-energy states of a bidisperse colloidal ice, realized by confining two types of magnetic particles into double wells of different lengths. For this system, theoretical calculations predict a highly degenerate ground state where all the vertices wit...
