Description:
Artificial ices enable the study of geometrical frustration by design and through direct observation. However, it has proven difficult to achieve tailored long-range ordering of their diverse configurations, limiting both fundamental and applied research directions. We designed an artificial spin structure that produces a magnetic charge ice with tunable long-range ordering of eight different configurations. We also developed a technique to precisely manipulate the local magnetic charge states and demonstrate write-read-erase multifunctionality at room temperature. This globally reconfigurable and locally writable magnetic charge ice could provide a setting for designing magnetic monopole defects, tailoring magnonics, and controlling the properties of other two-dimensional materials.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wang, Yong-Lei -- Xiao, Zhi-Li -- Snezhko, Alexey -- Xu, Jing -- Ocola, Leonidas E -- Divan, Ralu -- Pearson, John E -- Crabtree, George W -- Kwok, Wai-Kwong -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2016 May 20;352(6288):962-6. doi: 10.1126/science.aad8037.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Materials Science Division, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, IL 60439, USA.
