We study a frustrated dipolar array recently manufactured lithographically by Wang [Nature
(London) 439, 303 (2006)] NATUAS 0028-0836 10.1038/nature04447 in order to realize the …

We demonstrate how a colloidal version of artificial ice can be realized on optical trap
lattices. Using numerical simulations, we show that this system obeys the ice rules and that …

An atomistic approach is used to investigate finite-temperature properties of ferroelectric
nanodots that are embedded in a polarizable medium. Different phases are predicted …

A special family of solvable five-vertex model is introduced on a square lattice. In addition to
the usual nearest-neighbor interactions, the vertices defining the model also interact along …

The micromagnetic structure of an antiferromagnetically exchange-coupled multilayer
constrained by a periodic in-plane structure has been quantified using polarized-neutron …

The ground state entropy density of the triangular Ising antiferromagnet is considered as a
function of boundary conditions on domains for which the ground states do not admit a dimer …

For a description of the low-temperature physics of condensed-matter systems, it is often
useful to work within dynamically reduced spaces. This philosophy equally applies to …

The up-or-down spin of an electron makes it a natural qubit candidate for use, someday, in a
quantum computer. Circuit logic based on the flipping of spins would require less energy …
