Thermodynamics of emergent magnetic charge screening in artificial spin ice

Inspired by the physics of bulk frustrated materials, arrays of coupled nanomagnets have been widely explored for the study of collective ordering and emergent behaviour. Here, the authors demonstrate interaction-driven charge screening in a thermally active artificial spin ice lattice.
