Topological frustration of artificial spin ice
Frustrated systems display rich behaviour due to unsatisfied competing interactions. Here, the authors report extended frustration by introducing controlled topological defects into square artificial spin ice lattices, demonstrating the potential of lattice topology to induce frustration.
