Spin ice under pressure: symmetry enhancement and infinite order multicriticality.
We study the low-temperature behavior of spin ice when uniaxial pressure induces a tetragonal distortion. There is a phase transition between a Coulomb liquid and a fully magnetized phase. Unusually, it combines features of discontinuous and continuous transitions: the order parameter exhibits a jum...
